This kids craft project is ideal for preschoolers and even older kids as a great quick and fun gift for parents.

Take you plastic cup or your recycled tea cup from a second hand store and fill it with dirt. Wrap the cup up in cellophane and tie a ribbon around it.

Then Print out the poem below and attach it to the cup.

This one is perfect for Mothers Day or Fathers Day.

I planted some seeds in hopes that they'd grow.
Something went wrong, I just didn't know.
Instead of some flowers, it's a cupful of dirt.
I love you! I hope your feelings aren't too hurt.
HAPPY MOTHERS/FATHERS DAY !!

I think this is lame. The idea is cute, but the poem just doesn't match

I'm going to use it on seeds that were duds for my class' father's day project.

I think it would be really cute from a young child
