What gets built

Make a readable label with your own wording and check that it stands upright in your plant pot.

What it practises
  • Following an outline and joining neighbouring bands.
  • Checking the readability of the wording and the stability of the label.

Success criteria
  • The rectangular panel is solid and joined to the wide, blunt-ended stem; the label remains flat.
  • Your own wording is readable and the ink is dry.
  • After you let go, the label remains upright in the intended soil without pressing on the writing panel.
