Modeling clayor play dough
Marker
Instructions
Turn the pot over and write the name of the plant you wish to identify. Use a permanent, bold marker that will withstand the elements. Write the name pressing firmly as you do.
Next, create a base for your dowel rod or chopstick to hold onto. You will use your clay or play dough for this. Use a firm dough and create a ball. Press the ball into the inside of the flower pot. This will seal the hole and will also create a sticky surface for the rod to hold onto.
Press the rod into the clay or dough. Hold it firmly in place with the pot turned over. Allow the clay to dry so it will firmly hold the rod in place.
Once the clay is dry and your pieces are secure, press the end of the rod into the ground near the plant you wish to mark.
