save
Total Time 1 hour
Ages all-ages
A birdbath is a great device for attracting all kinds of species.
What you'll need
- 2 unglazed clay pot trays, one 8 1/4 inches in diameter and one 12 1/4 inches in diameter
- Unglazed clay pot, 6 inches in diameter
- Permanent enamel satin finish paint
- Paintbrushes
- Clear satin-finish enamel glaze
Helpful Tip:
Don't paint the larger tray, as the unpainted surface will provide a better grip for visiting birds.
How to make it
Invert the smaller clay tray and the pot on a newspaper-covered surface so your child can paint a decorative design on the stand. Let the paint dry thoroughly.
Seal the paint with a coat of clear satin glaze.
Center the inverted pot on the tray base.
Set the larger tray right side up atop the pot and fill it with no more than 3 inches of water.
