It’s hard to believe St. Patrick’s Day is almost here. Since I am half Irish, I have always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. Now that I have kids, I like to get creative and make fun crafts with them. Below are some ideas you can make with your kids. Have Fun!!
I mentioned in one of my last posts that I bought this lucite organizer
Pot-o-Gold Craft
This craft requires a little adult help, but it is really fun and educational for the kids. It’s a great opportunity to teach them about the colors of the rainbow.
Materials Needed
- black + yellow construction paper
- pipe cleaners in rainbow colors
- chocolate gold coins
- cotton balls
- gold glitter
- glue
Directions
- Fold yellow construction paper in half and cut out a pot shape.
- Add a slight bend to the pipe cleaners and glue to the black construction paper.
- Glue yellow pot to the black paper and cover the bottom of the pipe cleaners.
- Pull apart cotton balls to mimic clouds and glue to the top of the pipe cleaners.
- Glue chocolate coins on top of the pot.
- Sprinkle gold glitter on the wet glue and in the clouds.
Leprechaun Hat Craft
I’m not sure who had more fun with this craft, me or my toddler?!? This is a three part craft since there will be drying time required. I glued the popsicle sticks together to form a hat, let it dry overnight and then my daughter painted it green the next day. I got the original idea from this blog, but we added a little flare! You can get as creative as you want.
Materials Needed
Directions
- Line up 8 popsicle sticks vertically and glue 3 horizontal sticks at the bottom to hold the hat together. Let dry.
- Paint hat green. Let dry.
- Cut black construction into a thin strip, the same length as the hat. Glue right above the brim of the hat.
- Cut a yellow square and a black square a little smaller. Glue to the black strip.
- Add sequins, pom poms, glitter, and whatever else you would like!
Shamrock Craft
This is a really easy craft and you can get as creative as you want. My daughter even added some gold glitter to hers. I also used this as a way to teach small vs. big.
Materials Needed
Directions
- Fold green construction paper in half and cut 4 big and 4 small heart shapes.
- Glue hearts to yellow paper to form shamrocks.
- Glue sequins, pom poms, glitter, etc.
