Hopefully that also means spring is on it’s way. Here are some super fun ideas for crafts and activities to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the kiddos.

Leprechaun Paper Plate Mask
This is one we actually made last year! You know I love paper plate crafts! It is super easy. You just paint a cheap paper plate with orange paint. The hat is easy to cut from construction paper. I used gold glitter tape for the hat buckle but you could also use glitter glue. You can find the full tutorial at Simple Today Life.
Leprechaun Handprint Craft
How adorable is this handprint craft from Simple Every Day Mom?! This craft would be perfect for preschoolers. Handprint crafts make such great keepsakes too. She also has a super cute photo craft for St. Patrick’s Day.
Bubble Wrap Shamrock Craft
I am in love this beautiful shamrock craft from Messy Little Monster. Bubble Wrap Painting is something I have been wanting to try and those sparkles are just gorgeous.
