Hi Barbara. I used some clay pots to hold dirt cake. It works best with a mid sized clay pot. Make sure it's clean. Scoop ice cream into the pot. Then crush some Oreo cookies, just the chocolate part, and sprinkle it on top of the ice cream. Then put a few gummy worms on top of the crushed cookies. Serve with a garden shovel. We had a lot of fun with this cake. Brings back happy memories. Good luck Barbara.
Use them as a Display without plants. Use them to display a group of Plants. Make them into Animals or Pot people , Use broken ones to make a Fairy Garden within a pot.
Pile them upside down and use as legs for a bench or a table. Pile them in layers with a shelf in between to make display stand. Make a Lighthouse or a Windmill - Ooh, lots of ideas come to mind. Just play around a bit and see what shows itself to you. Have fun!

Make pot people.
Stacking them (and gluing them together) would make a little fun outdoor table base. You could paint it any color you want too!
If they are broken you could make a mosaic!
