Saint Patrick's Day Craft For Preschoolers
Saint Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday celebrated on March 17th. It is a day to honor Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday is celebrated all over the world with parades, parties, and lots of green! It's also a great time to get creative with your little ones and make some fun crafts to celebrate the day. Here are some Saint Patrick's Day craft ideas for preschoolers.
Shamrock Sun Catcher
This project is a fun way to decorate your windows and let the sun shine through. You will need green and clear contact paper, green tissue paper, and scissors. Cut out a shamrock shape from the green contact paper and then cut out the center of the shamrock. Cut small squares of green tissue paper and place them on the sticky side of the clear contact paper. Once you have covered the entire piece of clear contact paper, place the shamrock shape on top and press down. Cut around the shamrock shape and then hang in a sunny window.
Leprechaun Hat
This craft is a great way to get your little ones excited about Saint Patrick's Day. You will need a paper plate, green paint, black construction paper, and gold glitter. Paint the paper plate green and let it dry. Cut out a black strip of construction paper and glue it around the base of the paper plate to create the hat band. Cut out a small rectangle of black construction paper and glue it to the front of the hat band to create the buckle. Finally, add some gold glitter to the buckle to make it sparkle.
Pot of Gold
This craft is a fun way to create a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You will need a black paper cup, yellow construction paper, and gold glitter. Cut out a circle from the yellow construction paper and glue it to the bottom of the black paper cup. Add some gold glitter to the circle to create the gold coins. Cut out a rainbow shape from construction paper and glue it to the side of the cup. Your little ones can add cotton balls to create the clouds at the end of the rainbow.
Shamrock Stamp
This craft is a great way to create some Saint Patrick's Day artwork. You will need a potato, green paint, and white paper. Cut a potato in half and then cut out a shamrock shape on one half of the potato. Dip the potato into the green paint and then stamp it onto the white paper. Your little ones can create a whole field of shamrocks!
Clovers Everywhere
This craft is a fun way to decorate your home for Saint Patrick's Day. You will need green construction paper, a marker, and scissors. Draw a clover shape on the green construction paper and then cut it out. Your little ones can then use the clover shape to trace and cut out more clovers from the green construction paper. Hang the clovers all around your home to create a festive atmosphere.
