Paper Shamrock Love Plant – St. Patrick’s Day Kids Craft
Hi friends! Welcome to our Paper & Popsicle Stick Shamrock Love Plant kid craft tutorial! I’m so glad you landed on our tutorial and have decided to check it out today!
On that note, you probably already know that Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. Like REALLY fast!
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. It’s basically a paper shamrock flower that I “potted” together for the upcoming holiday.
And like with all my kid craft tutorials on Glued To My Crafts, the supplies are super affordable and the craft itself – REALLY EASY! All you need is popsicle sticks, cardstock paper and a little bit of glue. Really simple stuff you probably {more than likely!} have in your home right now.
So on that note, no excuses! Let’s grab our supplies, check out the tutorial below and get to crackin’! I just know you are going to LOVE growing these paper shamrock plants with your child today!
Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished paper shamrock love plants with us on our Facebook page! I’m sure they are going to turn out awesome! #gluedtomycrafts
