Items Needed:
- Preferred Clay/Mold
- Shamrock cookie cutter
- Paint
- Picture of child
- Toothpick
Follow instructions on the clay/mold of your choice. Roll out a decent amount to do both: a Childs hand print and the shamrock.
Press the Childs hand on the clay/mold and make a handprint. On the opposite side of the handprint, use the cookie cutter and cut the mold/clay. Use a toothpick to engrave the year into the clay/mold.
Once dry, have the children paint the fingers of their hand print in rainbow colors and the palm of their hand black to represent the pot of gold and add a gold line at the top of the palm to represent gold coins. Outline the shamrock in green paint.
Take a photo of the child and tape it to the back of the shamrock.
Lucky the Leprechaun
Items needed:
- 9 Popsicle sticks
- glue
- orange, green, black and yellow paint
- wiggle eyes
- black pen
- paint brush
- green or orange construction paper
Glue 8 popsicle sticks onto a piece of green or orange construction paper(touching one another).
Trim the paper to where you can’t see the construction paper around the edges.
Once that dries, glue the 9th stick horizontally to the front of the Leprechaun.
Paint the top part green along with the horizontal stick.
Using the orange paint: paint a beard leaving enough space for his facial features (use photo for reference)!
Glue the wiggle eyes on.
With the black paint: paint a thick line above the horizontal popsicle stick.
Use the orange paint to paint eyebrows above the wiggle eyes.
With a small brush or black pen draw the mouth and nose of the leprechaun.
Once the black line has dried, paint a yellow square for the buckle of the hat.
Let it all dry and you have a popsicle stick leprechaun!
