DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Easy Shamrock Paper Craft
Younger children will find this a very easy craft to make. The
shape has big, bold lines with relatively few curves which should make it
easier for preschoolers to cut out on their own. Thanks
to Karen for adding the Popsicle stick idea and the great song! |
 |
You can choose between the full page template (one shamrock on the page) or the
half page template (two shamrocks on one page). Materials:
 | scissors |
| glue |
| printer (we used construction paper) |
| paper |
| one of: colored
macaroni
or
colored rice
or
Fruit Loops
click links for directions on how to color them if you don't already
know. Fruit loops are the best choice for very young or large groups
of children as they are safe to nibble on.
|
| OPTIONAL: something to color with, sparkle glue or glitter |
| OPTIONAL: popsicle stick |
Directions:
| Print out the template of choice.
|

template pieces.

Glue your shamrock to a Popsicle stick and make your Shamrock dance while
you sing this song:
| I'm a little Shamrock (sung to: I'm a little Teapot) |
I'm a little shamrock
look at me
oh what color can I be
If you said that I was
the color green
then stand right up and YELL
YIPPEE! |
