Not So Crafty Momma

Saint Patrick’s Day is less than two weeks away! Today, I want to share a super cute and easy craft that is perfect for small children. It can be done at home or in a classroom!

Materials We Used

Green Construction Paper

White Paper

Scissors

A Crayon

Glue

I started by drawing a shamrock, two shoes, and two hands. If you don’t want to freehand this, you can find the shapes to print out and trace them. After that, I helped my daughter cut out each shape.

Next, I gave my preschooler the white paper and told her to rip four strips off of it. After that, I had her fold each strip back and forth. This is great fine motor skill practice!

Once the paper was folded, I helped her glue the “hands” and “shoes” onto the white paper.

While the glue dried, I asked my daughter to draw a face on the shamrock.

To finish, I flipped it over so my little one could glue on the arms and legs.
