Preparation

Depending on the time available and ability of the children you may want to cut out the card in advance.

Instructions

1. Wrap the Yellow card around the plant pot and use double sided tape to stick the card in place.

2. Around 2-3cm down from the top of the body glue the black strip of card around the body.

3. Cut out an ‘H’ Shape (use the template) from the blue card at leaders.boys-brigade.org.uk/minionplanter.pdf)

4. Using remaining blue card, draw and cut a hexagonal shape. Draw a ‘G’ in the centre then colour a circular area around it black.

5. Stick the badge you have just made onto the centre of the ‘H’ Shape and draw 4 dots as shown so it looks like buttons on the Minion’s dungarees.

6. Glue the dungarees on to the bottom.

7. Cut out either 1 or 2 eye shapes and draw a black outline and an eyeball on each eye and stick them on top of the black band and draw a mouth.

8. Add Cotton wool and cress seeds to the top of the plant pot and add a small amount of water.
