Sometimes it’s nice to have an Exclusive item for your plush pets to play with… have you ever made your own Strike-A-Posing plant? Check out these instructions from our archive.

What you do:
For the Pot:

What cool poses can you think of for your plant?
Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!
This was one of my favorite room items years ago. What a creative way to bring a classic back to life. Definitely making one.
The fact that it makes me think of Groot from The Guardians of the Galaxy movies is a bonus for me! I think I’ll make one and put him on the shelf during Christmas season and pose him a little differently every day. (Make the rest of my family wonder!) So much better than elf on a shelf! LOL!
I love the crafty critterz crafts!!! I’ll definitely be making this one :) Craft Kimmy is my favorite Webkinz host!!
That is REALLY clever and looks authentic!
now that’s adorable–good job, love that posing plant lol ;) best, k.
That is really good. It looks just like the game one!!
That is so cute and it looks just like it! Love this idea!
Cute. Also if you used a tiny terra cotta pot or even a plastic version, or a seed starter pot, it would look even more like the original. The Strike a Pose plant is one of my favorite exclusive items we’ve collected through the years.
I was thinking that a little clay pot would be more steady. This is a really cute craft idea!
