What better way to add a little magic and luck into your child’s day than this whimsical pot of gold craft?
Leprechaun Cauldron Craft Idea
Continuing on with the St Patty’s Day themed crafts I shared yesterday on Glued To My Crafts, today I’m sharing this Styrofoam Cup “Bucket Of Luck” kid craft with you all today! It’s basically a leprechaun cauldron with a rainbow coming out of it!
With a few simple supplies {and I mean REALLY simple} you too can pull this together with your child in one afternoon. All you need is a plain styrofoam cup {or paper} pipe cleaners and black paint. That’s it!
No fancy tools or special luck required! Afterwards you might even have a smiling kid like I did, who was glowing when we finished it.
So what are we waiting for? Let’s grab our supplies and get to work! You can find ALL the details you need to know for this cauldron of luck craft tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends!
