For a wee bit of green fun in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a roundup of creative craft projects. Most are easily made with materials you already have at home or in the classroom, and many are simple enough for the tiniest of leprechauns.
DLTK: St. Patrick’s Day Crafts for Kids
These fun and easy St. Patrick’s Day crafts are listed by subject, including leprechaun, pot of gold, shamrock, and rainbow. Each illustrated craft recipe includes a recommended minimum age, a materials list, and (of course) instructions. Most include printable templates in both color and black and white (for those who wish to color their own crafts.) And, best of all, the instructions are available in a printable format (look for the highlighted link at the bottom of each craft page.)

First-School: St. Patrick’s Day Activities and Crafts
For preschool and kindergarten kids, First School provides printable crafts (and lesson plans) for St. Patrick’s Day and Irish American Heritage Month. In addition to the craft instructions, the activities include reference links to articles about shamrocks, the history of St. Patrick’s Day, and other related topics. “Shamrock: (three leaves) is the national emblem of Ireland. Lucky Four-Leaf Clover: when a rare four leaflet occurs in a clover it is said to be lucky and the leaves represent hope, faith, love and the fourth one, luck.”
