I recently had to lead the Gardening meeting for my daughter’s Girl Scout troop and since Earth Day is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to do a little planting project + Earth Day activity!

These mini DIY unicorn planters came out so darling.

I love how each girl gave it their own magical twist, from blooming arched rainbows, to glittery wings and fun faces like cats and pigs!

Kids’ imaginations are endless and it was a pleasure to host such a fun event for my daughter and her troop mates. 

After the planting activity we handed out a one page worksheet where each girl pledged 3 ways they can make the world a more eco-friendly and magical place to live. Each girl stood up and presented her idea. If you’re doing this for class activity, this is great way to encourage public speaking, leadership and social responsibility!

DIY UNICORN PLANTERS – MATERIALS: 

• Tiny pots (we love these affordable little ones that come with a wooden base!)
• Black marker (to  draw eyes)
• Small felt flowers
• Scraps of pink and white felt
• Glitter gold paper
• White cardstock
• Toothpicks
• Crayons or markers
• Glue dots (these are great if hosting a big group) if not a glue gun works 
• Tiny succulents, the size that fit your pot
• Planting soil (we used a soil meant for succulents)
• Newspaper, scrap paper to cover the table, and utensils like spoons to scoop soil 
• Scissors
• FREE Printable Unicorn Earth Day Template

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1. Print out the free printable Unicorn Earth Day Template and set aside. 

Step 2. Take your succulent out of the container it came in, place in your pot and pack soil around it until the plant is snug in the container.

Step 3. Draw your face and features on the pot with black markers.

Step 4. Cut circles out of pink felt for cheeks, white felt for the ears, and pink felt for the inner ears. Attach to your pot with glue dots or a hot glue gun.

Step 5. Stick on your felt flowers again with glue. 

Step 6. Cut out a horn from your glitter paper and glue on your planter.

Step 7. Optional: Draw and color a rainbow on white cardstock, cut out the arch. Glue to two toothpicks and stick the toothpicks inside the soil. 

These tiny DIY unicorn planters came out darling! It was also fun to read each girl’s pledge on how to make the world a more eco-friendly and magical place.
