Leprechaun Hat
For this craft, you will need a paper plate, green construction paper, black construction paper, and a yellow pom-pom. Cut out a strip of green construction paper and glue it around the edge of the paper plate to create the hat brim. Cut out a black construction paper rectangle and glue it to the center of the plate to create the hat. Glue a yellow pom-pom to the top of the hat to create the hat's buckle.
Pot of Gold
For this craft, you will need a paper cup, black construction paper, yellow construction paper or gold foil, and cotton balls. Cut out a circle from the black construction paper that is slightly larger than the top of the paper cup. Cut out a smaller circle from the yellow construction paper or gold foil and glue it to the center of the black circle. Glue the black circle to the top of the paper cup. Glue cotton balls around the edge of the cup to create the pot of gold's rainbow.
Shamrock Wreath
For this craft, you will need a paper plate, green construction paper, and scissors. Cut out several shamrocks from the green construction paper. Glue the shamrocks around the edge of the paper plate to create a wreath. You can also add a ribbon to hang the wreath.
Leprechaun Puppet
For this craft, you will need a paper bag, green construction paper, black construction paper, and a yellow pom-pom. Cut out a hat and a beard from the green construction paper and a buckle from the black construction paper. Glue the hat and the beard to the paper bag to create the leprechaun's face. Glue the buckle to the hat and the yellow pom-pom to the center of the buckle.
