DIY Kid Craft: Make a Child's Planter

Crafting plant stands for children is easy to do, beautiful to behold and a wonderful welcome to the joys of growing food for oneself.

You will need: wooden window planting box with drainage holes/ two  1" x 6"x 19" boards, preferably cedar / two 1" x 2" boards, at least the width of the top of the planting box, preferably cedar / sixteen 1.25" screws / potting soil / lettuces, leafy greens or herbs

Using a 1" x 2" board as a guide against the widest part of the planter box, draw pencil marks matching the angle and width.

Drill screws into the side of the panels. This creates a sturdy base.
