Make A Garden Plaque
Here is a clever craft idea for summer. Kids can make this garden plaque
extra special with all their treasures and display it in the garden to admire -
or give it as a very special gift!
You will need:
Plaster of Paris
Aluminium pie case
Shells, pebbles, acrylic gems, marbles or other water-resistant treasures to
decorate. You could even use small plastic toys such as figures or toy cars.
Instructions:
Make sure that you have a covered surface to work on and your children
have overalls to protect their clothes. Gather all your materials in advance, as
Plaster of Paris dries quickly.
Mix up the Plaster of Paris in an old jug according to the instructions on
the packet. Pour into the pie case.
Carefully lay your decoration on top (note: they will sink a little no matter
how carefully you do this; if you are too rough they will sink a lot!)
Leave to dry for a couple of hours and then remove the plaque from the pie
tray.
Dig a hole in the garden and pop in the plaque. Back-fill with soil so that
the top of the plaque sits level with the flower bed.
