Cut out six blue felt squares, all the same size. Cut six flower-pot shapes out of brown felt. Glue a flowerpot
shape to each of the squares and stack the squares on top of one another, front sides up. Sew the squares
together by stitching a seam down the left side. Use a permanent marker to number the flower-pot shapes
from 1 to 6. Cut out flower stem shapes from green felt. Glue one stem to pot number 1, two stems to pot
number 2, and so on, up to number 6. Cut out leaves and add them to the stems, if desired. Sew a button
