ST. PATRICK'S DAY ACTIVITY FOR KIDS by:simplytodaylife.com
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Paper plate
- Green, yellow and black construction paper
- Orange paint
- Gold glitter
- Craft glue
- Yarn
- Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cut out a circle in the middle of the paper plate.
- Have your child paint the paper plate orange and allow it to try completely.
- While your paint dries, you can begin creating your leprechaun hat. If you have a younger child you can cut out the hat pieces for them, but if your child is ready to cut the pieces themselves go ahead and allow them to do so.
- Draw a small rectangle on the black construction paper, a hat from the green construction paper and a little square from the yellow paper. Allow your child to cut out the pieces for a great fine motor skills activity.
- For the gold buckle, help your child cut another square inside to create a thin buckle for your hat.
- For some extra sparkle, you can also add gold glitter to your leprechaun's hat buckle.
- Glue the pieces together on the leprechaun hat and glue your hat to the mask.
- To create a fun bearded effect, cut small strips on the bottom of your painted paper plate.
- Allow all your pieces to dry before using the mask, especially the glitter. Believe me; you do not want all that we glitter on your child's face. Yes, unfortunately, we are speaking from experience.
- To make your mask tie around your child's head tie yarn on each side of the mask. You could also add a large popsicle stick at the bottom of their mask and they could just hold it to their faces. Either way they will be so cute!
