Looking for a fun and easy shamrock craft for kids? Look no further! This shamrock craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be done in just a few simple steps. 

All you need is some construction paper, scissors, and glue. First, cut out shamrock shapes from the construction paper. Next, glue the shamrocks together in a clover shape. Finally, add any embellishments you like, such as glitter or sequins. Your shamrock craft is now complete!

St. Patrick’s Day is a fun time to get creative with your kids. Whether you’re looking for crafts, activities, or recipes, this list has something for everyone!

Shamrock Sun-catchers

The materials needed for this craft are simple: a shamrock-shaped cookie cutter and green construction paper. 

To make the sun-catchers, cut out three pieces of construction paper that each measure six inches by six inches. 

Use the hole punch to punch holes along one side of the middle piece of green construction paper, allowing the string or yarn to hang through it. Next, glue glitter glue onto all three of your shamrock shapes (the middle piece should be unglued). 

Once dry, attach them together using a stapler on all four corners of your shamrock shape and then use clear tape around each side to seal any loose pieces of glitter down inside the shape. Finally, paint some areas green with paint if desired!

Shamrock Pebble Art

Materials

  • Shamrock-shaped sponge (get one from the dollar store)
  • Shamrock colored paint (I got mine from the craft store)
  • Shamrock-shaped paper (for example, I used green construction paper)
  • Shamrock-shaped foam (I got mine from my local dollar store)
  • Shamrock-shaped paper clips, paper towel,s or cups

Shamrock Glitter Slime

To avoid the glitter from falling off, you can use a small amount of glue. 

Make sure the glue is completely dry before giving the slime to the children. If you do not wear gloves while making the slime, it will be easier to get glitter in your eyes.

Wipe your hands with a paper towel after playing with this shamrock craft for kids.

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

Make sure you have a camera. You’re going to be taking pictures, so why not make sure you have one?

Make sure you have a pen and paper. It’s important to write down what each object looks like in case there are more than one of them (like shamrocks).

Be sure to have the right attitude. This is a fun way for everyone to learn about St. Patrick’s Day, so take it easy and enjoy yourself! 

If anyone gets upset or grumpy, just remember that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to things like food and drink—and remembering this can help keep people from getting too worked up over something they don’t like as much as another person might enjoy it!

Paint Swatch Leprechaun Beards

Materials

  • Glue stick
  • Paint swatches
  • Scissors

How to make it

Cut the paint swatches into long strips and glue them to a piece of scrap paper to create a beard. You can cut fringe or just leave it as is. Let dry, then hang in your window or on a wall! Use multiple colors for an, even more, a fun effect!

To keep your leprechaun beard looking good over time, use clear tape around the edges before hanging it up in your window or on a wall so they don’t get all sticky when exposed to humidity (or if you want super-long lasting results). 

This also makes clean-up easy because you can just remove the tape if any beads fall off–no need for messy glue remover!

Handprint Shamrocks

  • Use a paintbrush and green paint to create a shamrock on your child’s hand.
  • Use a sponge to add a second color to the shamrock.
  • Let the paint dry, then use a paper towel to wipe off the paint.

Paper Plate Wreath

Materials

  • Paper plate
  • Markers (or paint, glitter, etc.)
  • Sticks or toothpicks
  • Wire or ribbon to hang it on the wall (optional)

How To Make It

Decorate your paper plate with markers or paint, glitter, etc. If using markers, make sure you use washable ones so they will be easy to clean off later! You can also use different colors for each petal of the clover if you want more detail.

After your plate is completely decorated and dry, get sticks or toothpicks for stems and wire for hanging if you want that option! 

Use these to attach small shamrocks around the edge of your wreath so they’ll be easy to grab onto when removed from its holder later on down the line when needed most by those who enter the room where this wreath hangs every year during St Patrick’s Day celebrations here at home )

Printable Leprechaun Hat Craft

Print out the printable leprechaun hat template (see below), then attach it to a piece of construction paper.

  • Cut out the template.
  • Use markers to color in the hat.
  • Attach a piece of string to the back of the hat, and you’re done! Hang your new masterpiece on your wall for all to see!

Easy Pot Of Gold Craft

What you’ll need

  • an old pot of gold, or a clean one for this project (you can find them at craft stores)
  • gold paint, glitter glue, and/or googly eyes to decorate the pot if you want to make it look more magical!

How to make

Paint over the outside of your pot with several coats of gold paint. You can leave some areas unpainted if they are meant to show through later (like the inside rim). 

Let dry between coats. If desired, add glitter glue or googly eyes or any other decorations at this point.

Painted pinecone wreath Craft

Use a paintbrush to paint a pinecone green, or have your child choose their favorite color.

With an adult’s help, use a glue gun to glue on shamrocks. You can draw shamrocks on paper and cut them out and attach them with hot glue, or you can simply cut out paper in the shape of shamrocks (or use some other shape you like) for your child to apply directly to the wreath once it is dry from painting.

Add some ribbon! Use a dab of glue on the back side of the ribbon piece and press into place with your fingers when dry; this will prevent falling off easily when moving things around later on in project time!

Tissue paper shamrock garland craft

Materials

  • Tissue paper in green, gold, and white
  • Scissors or a craft knife, pencil, and ruler

Directions

Cut a rectangle out of the green tissue paper. It should be about 3″ by 6″.

Fold over one long edge of the rectangle, then fold over that edge again so that it meets up with the other side of the fold, creating another crease. 

Then cut along this new fold to make a triangle shape (you’ve now made 2 folds). Cut off any excess tissue paper at this point (see image below). Doing so will help you create a narrower strip that is easier to work with later on!

Repeat steps 1-2 with all three colors of tissue paper until you have enough individual strips to go around your door handle/knob etc., depending on how many bunches you want form part of your garland – we made about 10 each for ours 🙂
