DIY Plant Stools (12 Pack)

DIY Plant Stools are a decorate-and-use craft where kids paint and personalize mini wooden stools that can hold plants, stack books, display keepsakes, or become the cutest Mother’s Day gift ever.

Decorate Mini Wooden Stools That Become Real Home Decor

DIY Plant Stools are the perfect craft when you want something kids can decorate and then actually use at home. Each mini wooden stool is made of unfinished wood, ready for paint, patterns, names, and creative designs. Once finished, it becomes a functional little stand that can hold a small plant, display a photo, stack books, or show off a keepsake.

This craft is especially great for Mother’s Day because it feels thoughtful and gift-worthy. Kids can decorate the stool with flowers, hearts, special messages, or “Best Mom Ever” designs, then pair it with a small plant or a handwritten note. It becomes a handmade gift that feels personal and actually gets used, which is basically the Mother’s Day gold standard.

DIY Plant Stools also work well for classrooms, after-school programs, and camps because they are sturdy, creative, and different from typical crafts. The finished pieces look adorable lined up together, and kids love taking home something that feels like authentic home decor.
