If you still have flower seeds to plant here is a cool way to complement the colorful blooms that will grow. You can make a rainbow pour painted flower pot! If your flowers are growing outside you could always use this pour paint technique on a vase so your flowers will have an awesome looking place to get all the water they need after you pick them and bring them in.

Newspaper Pots!
Biodegradable newspaper pots are easy to make and great for little ones wanting to see their own seeds sprout up before their eyes. Not only are they very simple to make, but once your seedling grows big enough, you can plant the newspaper pot directly into the ground or into a bigger pot. Directions are below!
1. Spread out a full sheet of newspaper and cut it (or rip it, it doesn't need to be exact) right down the middle. Do this again so that you are left with four divided quarters of newspaper.
2. Take a quarter of the newspaper and fold the bottom edge over about an inch.
3. Take a jar (mason jars work well!) and wrap the newspaper around it, leaving the folded edge at the bottom.
4. Fold the newspaper into the base of the jar (sometimes a little tape helps!)
5. And voila! You have a perfect newspaper pot, ideal for filling with seeds and soil!
