If you find yourself with a pair of kids' rain boots too cute to toss and too worn to wear, try making this fun and easy planter.

In this activity, your kid has your permission to get his socks nice and filthy. In fact, it's a necessity, because those socks are going to make a garden.

Give your child a chance to experiment with how things grow. And throw in something extra to up the fun factor even more...her very own grass pet!
