[Regia-NA] OT - Seemed like a good idea ...

[Kim Siddorn]

An elementary school class started a class project to make planters to take 
home to their parents.

They wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so decided 
to use cactus plants. The students were given green-ware pottery planters in 
the shape of clowns which they painted with glaze. The clown planters were 
professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process.


It was great fun! They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and 
over the summer holidays  they grew nicely, but unfortunately the children 
were not allowed to take them home when they returned to school.

The cactus plants were removed, small ivies replaced them and the children 
were then allowed to take them home.

The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time!
