Kid's Craft- Shoe Planters

This is a fun activity that helps merge from winter and spring into summer, recycling some of the old shoes that won't be of any use next year when your kids have outgrown them.

Simple and easy

-Take your child's old shoes from winter and spring, or any shoes that they have outgrown.  We used my daughter's old crocs, but you can also use old boots or sneakers.

-Fill the child's shoe losely with potting soil, and add a flower that will stay small.  We used Impatients.

-Find a nice spot out in the yard, by the front door, or along a walkway to keep the flowers. You can even hang the new planters from a wall, a fence post, or a doorway. Make sure that they are in a spot where they will recieve adequate sunlight for the type of flower that you have chosen, and that you keep them watered as well.

-Sit back and enjoy your new decor that your children will love.  You can even let them water them as needed.
