Craft Ideas For St. Patricks Day
St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays that we all celebrate just to have fun! It doesn’t matter if you are truly Irish; the day is spent wearing green, enjoying green, giving kisses, and generally acting ridiculous!
Get into the spirit with a good beer, some Irish potatoes, a four-leaf clover, and some crafts with the kids.
Craft Ideas For St. Patrick’s Day
Rainbow Plate
This craft is great for toddlers to young children. Pulling apart cotton balls and gluing them down is a great fine motor skill. So is cutting strips of paper. If your child isn't ready to cut, then you can pre-cut the rainbow pieces. I love that you can make this craft ahead of time and your child can wake to find a little pot of "gold" beneath it on St. Patrick's Day!
Rainbow Chain
Another great rainbow craft - because you can never have too many rainbows.
Rainbow Twirler
You can get as creative as you'd like with this one.
3-D Rainbow
Teaching the order of colors in the rainbow, and creating a 3D picture will make for a fun activity.
Rainbow Jar
\What a great learning activity. All ages will enjoy making it, and everyone will walk away learning something.
Play Dough
Homemade playdough is fun to make with your kids! Create all the colors of the rainbow, and toss in some glitter for fun!
Shamrock Wand
Any other "Magic Wand Loving Children" out there? My children - yes, my boys too- love wands. Adding ribbons for movement, glitter for sparkle, and green for the holiday will have everyone smiling!
The Painted Leprachaun
This one looks like it *may* turn into a huge mess... especially with a toddler. But, it would also be a great lesson in explaining that artists think outside of the box. By using a fork instead of a paintbrush, the artwork takes on a look that wouldn't be obtained any other way!
