Great party Halloween party favors! You can get all sizes of pots at Michael's. I got the three smallest sizes and they were $.59, $.69, $.89 a piece. If you can't find terra-cotta pots you can use small plastic ones. The paint won't stick as well or show up quite as well but we gave it a try anyway just to see. (pic below)
Supplies:
-mini terra-cotta pots
-yellow craft paint
-fine tip black marker
Directions:
1. Add a Jack-O-Lantern face to your pot with the yellow paint.
2. Let dry.
3. Outline the face with your fine tip black marker.
4. Put some Halloween candies in your Jack-O-Lantern.
**After some trial and error (that's why only one of the plastic pots got photographed) I found the easiest way for my children (ages 4 & 5) to make the face, was for me to draw it on with the marker first then let them paint inside the lines with the yellow paint. Then after they painted, I went back over the lines again with the permanent marker. You can decide what's best for your kids depending on their age.
