Class Project That Went Wrong

An elementary school class begun a class project making planters to take home to their parents.

They wanted to plant something in them that would be easy to take care of, so they decided to plant cactus plants.

Each of the students were given green-ware pottery planters with clown shapes which they painted nicely with glaze.

All of the clown planters were professionally fired during a class outing so they could see the process.

It was a lot of fun!

They planted cactus seeds in the clown planters after and they grew quite nicely, but unfortunately, the children were not allowed to take them home after all. Instead, the cactus's were removed and replaced with small ivy and the kids were allowed to then take them home.

Well, the teacher said that cactus plants seemed like a good idea at the time, but the outcome....
