Kids can make wee little Leprechaun tracks as they craft this St. Patrick’s Day using their hands as a footprint stamp. This craft turns out adorable and is so easy–speaking from experience it’s way easier than catching a Leprechaun and using his feet for a stamp. 🙂
My little preschooler and kindergartner thought this was tons of fun. They made their tracks lead to a pot of gold! Be sure to check out all of our: ST. PATRICK’S DAY ACTIVITIES HERE.
