Water Challenge

How to make a polar bear plant pot!

Give your plants a bear-illiant new home!

Create this paw-some craft in five easy steps! Not only will you learn how to make something creative, but you'll be doing something good for the environment by reusing an old plastic bottle – awesome!

What you’ll need:

  • Large water bottle
  • Black marker 
  • Scissors
  • White acrylic paint and paint-brush
  • Small potted plant, or soil and seeds

 

STEP 1

OUTLINE

Mark out your polar bear’s head and ears on the bottle. Make sure it will be deep enough to place your plant inside. 

STEP 2

CUT

Cut around your polar bear, getting an adult to help you—the plastic can be tough.

STEP 3

PAINT

Paint the outside of the bottle with white acrylic paint. Leave to dry. You may need to add another coat or two.

STEP 4

DECORATE

When it’s dry, use the markers to add detail to the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, and whiskers. 

STEP 5

PLANT

Place a small potted plant inside the polar bear, or add some potting soil and plant a few seeds. Check out the seed packet for instructions.
