Potty Party
Purpose - The purpose of this program is to
decorate flower pots and to physically have something to take away
from the program. Not only the process of decorating but also
socializing while you are painting or stenciling your flower pot.
It is also good to give a little information about the plants you
are giving out and about what plants make good houseplants etc.
A fun social activity that is actually beneficial in building
community among residents and decorating their rooms is a
"Potty Party". This program was put on for a
building of residents and what you will need is:
Terra Cotta pots
starter plants/flowers
potting soil
rocks
paints/markers/glitter (anything to decorate a flower pot)
some education on how to plant the specific flowers/plant and what
kind of sunlight/water it will need
door prizes
Advertising Ideas
- You can easily advertise this idea with the use of flower cut
outs as teasers/publicity
- Also, toilet paper works well as a teaser/publicity
- In addition, you could advertise in the "potty press"
which would be hung in the bathrooms as a newsletter
Hints
- Utilizing an outside area - it is great for this program
- Give out door prizes
- Recognize the most creative flower pots/best planted etc, with
certificates, prizes or potting supplies
Good luck and Have Fun!
