St. Patrick's Day
Activities
Shamrock People
Materials:
 Green
construction Paper
Glue
Markers or Crayons
Using green construction paper, create shamrock
shapes. Children can draw the shamrocks themselves or if the
children are young
they will need pre-cut shapes. Children will draw faces on their
shamrocks.
The addition of accordian-folded arms and legs will make these shamrock people
dance.
These would make excellent mobiles or bulletin board decorations.
Shamrock Prints
Materials:
Green
Pepper
Paper
Green Paint
Cut the pepper in half. Remove all the seeds.
Children dip the cross section pieces of the green pepper into green
paint
and use it to create a shamrock print on paper.
Shining Shamrocks
Shamrock shapes are cut out of tag board or heavy
construction paper. They are painted green and salt is sprinkled
on them.
The salt will make the shamrocks shine and sparkle when they dry.
These would make excellent St. Patrick's Day mobiles.
Shamrock Potato Prints
Materials:
One
potato for each child
Paper
Paint
Paring knife
(Depending on the ages of the children, adult may
have to use the knives to create the potato "printers")
Each child will need a potato. Cut the end from the potato. The outline of a
shamrock is drawn on the cut end.
Excess potato is removed so that only the
shamrock remains raised on the surface.
The potato is used like a stamp to
decorate paper or create prints cards for St. Patrick's Day.
