St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Craft

 

Supplies:

4 Heart Doilies-affiliate link

Green paint-affiliate link

Gold craft paint-affiliate link

Glue

Green paper

 

Directions:

Have child paint the doilies green and gold then set them aside to dry. Our doilies were pink on the front so we painted the backs and you can’t even tell. Now they are all about Valentine’s day in the back and St. Patrick’s Day in the front.

Have child glue the hearts together in the shape of a shamrock. As we crafted we talked about Ireland and made sure to point it out on our Wall Map-affiliate link. I try to sneak in geography and learning about cultures whenever I can. We also read Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato-affiliate link because who doesn’t like potatoes? 🙂  

 

Have child cut out a shamrock stem from the green craft paper and glue it to the hearts. Once the glue is dry they are ready to hang on a window or wall.
