Even though my family does not have an Irish bone in its body, we love to celebrate St. Patrick?s Day. We aren?t the green beer partying types, but do like to make it a fun family event. You may remember my post last year about some of the fun we have! This year we are decorating the house with some crafts inspired by leprechauns, shamrocks, and the rainbow! I wanted to share some of the fun things you can make to decorate your home.
Pictured above is an easy craft that requires only a few supplies. Some green paint and paper help to make some great painted shamrocks. Just draw a shamrock shape and have the kids go crazy painting them. I like them whole, but you could easily cut them out also.
We are also hoping to fill the house with rainbows. An easy way to do this is to take a paper plate and paint it gold or yellow. Then take leftover crepe paper strips in different colors and glue or staple about a foot at the end of the plate trailing off. In addition to a decoration this makes a great item to hold and dance.?Another fun craft involves your child handprint. You can find the instructions and a photo here.
A cool craft that you can use as a gift involves jars and skittles. Have your child sort the skittles by color, then layer in a jar to make a rainbow. Attach a fun tag saying Here is a little St. Patty?s Day in a jar for you! Distribute to teachers, grandparents, friends or neighbors. Who doesn?t love a bright colored rainbow of candy to brighten their day!
Feel free to check out other St. Patricks Day ideas on both Garanimals? board and my board on Pinterest! Everyone is a little Irish on St. Patricks Day!
