St Patty’s Day is fast approaching!
With every holiday that passes by, it’s a good excuse for me {and you} to do crafts with our children centered around the time of year. So without further ado and the theme of all things lucky & green – today I’m sharing this “Shamrock Love Plant” kid craft idea.
Like all my kid craft tutorials, the supplies are super affordable and the craft itself – REALLY EASY!.
Now let’s grab our supplies, check out the tutorial below and get to crackin’! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
Shamrock Love Plant Craft Supplies:
* Green Cardstock
* Heart Punch {Stampin’ Up}
* Terra Cotta Pot {Dollar Tree}
* Various Paints – Green, Yellow, Gold
* Paint Brushes/Sponges
* Popsicle Stick
* Glue Dots
* Green Play-dough
Directions:
1. Have your child paint their pot however they want. Let their imagination go wild! Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
2. While they are painting – cut out FOUR heart punches {or cut out by free hand} With the leftover paint, I let Lil Man sponge paint the heart cutouts. Set those aside to let it dry completely.
3. Once everything is dry – it’s time to assemble. Take your popsicle stick and arrange your heart cutouts into a shamrock shape. Use glue dots to attach them to the popsicle stick.
4. Press a chunk of green play-dough into the clay pot. Now “plant” your new shamrock in the play-dough.
You can either use this Shamrock Love Plant as a decoration in your home or gift it to a friend to spread the “luck.” And as always – you can always change out the colors to reflect what you have/want.
