\u25cf A cut out of a shamrock or clover<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Paint (any color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Mesh (think of what a nag of oranges is made of, or the back part of a sponge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Lay the cut out of the shamrock onto your cardstock. (Some people find it helpful to put a small piece of tape on the back of the shamrock to secure it to the cardstock to keep it from slipping.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or a paint pallet next to your paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Take the mesh you have and cut it into smaller, more manageable pieces, then crumble it into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Have students dab the mesh into the paint, and encourage them to highlight the outlines of their shamrock, so it is obvious what is being outlined on the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you lift the shamrock from the middle of the page, your student should have a perfectly outlined image of a clover. This is an easy activity for students of all ages to do during St. Patrick\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Patrick\u2019s Day Golden Sight Words<\/u><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nReading and writing sight words is an important part of early literacy education. Preschoolers will need to know how to read, write, and spell sight words fluently in order to progress in writing and reading throughout their elementary school years. These activities promote sight word recognition and spelling for young learners. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis activity can also be used to help students correctly sort letters in their names and identify letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Then the students will cut their images of the gold and arrange the letters in order of their name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf They will glue down the coins above the pot of gold in name order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf If you do not want students to color in the rainbow, you can cut out a pot of gold and pre-printed rainbow for students to paste. They will follow the same steps with the coins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this classroom game because not only does it incorporate water play for sensory needs in preschoolers, but it can also be made into an activity that students do on their own, or it can be made into a competitive game, where the teacher goes for one color and students go for another.

Pot of gold Name craft for St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis St. Patrick’s day name craft for students does take a bit more prep time for teachers, but it is a great bell work activity that students can do independently, as well as practicing fine motor skills. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis activity can also be used to help students correctly sort letters in their names and identify letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf You can print a black line of a pot of gold with a student\u2019s name printed on it and a rainbow coming off to the side. Students will color the pot and the rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Then the students will cut their images of the gold and arrange the letters in order of their name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf They will glue down the coins above the pot of gold in name order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf If you do not want students to color in the rainbow, you can cut out a pot of gold and pre-printed rainbow for students to paste. They will follow the same steps with the coins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this activity definitely has to be planned ahead of time, the students will love having this personalized namesake for St. Patrick\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic Name Shamrocks<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA magical activity for a magical season, this kindergarten St. Patrick\u2019s Day activity is a great way to keep students gasping and engaged!<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou need:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf A piece of paper towel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf A Sharpie or permanent Marker<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Washable markers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Water and a water dropper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Fold your paper towel in half, and inside, write your student\u2019s name with Sharpie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Fold over the top of your paper towel, and use washable markers to draw and color a shamrock on the top layer of the paper towel. You can color in the shamrocks or decorate them with stripes or polka dots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf One at a time, have the students fill up a water dropper and put a few drops of water on each shamrock while their name magically appears underneath, one letter at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This St. Patrick\u2019s day activity is a magical craft would be great to do with students\u2019 names or even sight words. Have them practice reading new vocabulary one drip at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shamrock in a bag <\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis St. Patrick\u2019s Day activity is worth trying for the lack of mess alone. I can imagine it being a huge hit in preschool or Kindergarten, where the students love to paint, but the teacher loves not to ruin the carpet!<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou need:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf A piece of cardstock cut like a shamrock<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf A ziplock bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Paint (any color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Cut out your cardstock shamrock, and put it inside your ziplock bag (but don\u2019t close it yet.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Squirt in the paint you want on your shamrock, then close the ziplock bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Using your hands, move the paint around to coat the shamrock in the design you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is such a great rainy-day activity, and a great craft idea for young kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Paint (any color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Mesh (think of what a nag of oranges is made of, or the back part of a sponge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Lay the cut out of the shamrock onto your cardstock. (Some people find it helpful to put a small piece of tape on the back of the shamrock to secure it to the cardstock to keep it from slipping.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or a paint pallet next to your paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Take the mesh you have and cut it into smaller, more manageable pieces, then crumble it into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Have students dab the mesh into the paint, and encourage them to highlight the outlines of their shamrock, so it is obvious what is being outlined on the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you lift the shamrock from the middle of the page, your student should have a perfectly outlined image of a clover. This is an easy activity for students of all ages to do during St. Patrick\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Patrick\u2019s Day Golden Sight Words<\/u><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nReading and writing sight words is an important part of early literacy education. Preschoolers will need to know how to read, write, and spell sight words fluently in order to progress in writing and reading throughout their elementary school years. These activities promote sight word recognition and spelling for young learners. <\/p>\n\n\n

In preschool, students would need help with this portion, but in an older grade, like third, fourth, or fifth grade, the students could independently complete this St. Patrick\u2019s Day craft.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou need:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To make:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Lay out a piece of white cardstock, and place a dot of paint vertically on the left side in the order of the rainbow,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Lay a cling wrap over the top of your cardstock, and wipe the paint in a rainbow arch using a popsicle stick. This effect is best used if you complete it in one motion, so students will probably need to go slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Remove the cling wrap carefully, and use glue to add cotton balls to the rainbow’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cling wrap to paint is a fun way to paint in the classroom, and students will enjoy watching their paint form into a rainbow underneath their cling wrap.

\u25cf Make a black pot of gold from the black paper and yellow coins from the yellow paper. The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shamrock in a bag <\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis St. Patrick\u2019s Day activity is worth trying for the lack of mess alone. I can imagine it being a huge hit in preschool or Kindergarten, where the students love to paint, but the teacher loves not to ruin the carpet!<\/p>\n\n\n

The pot can go to the bottom of the rainbow, and coins can be placed inside the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf The student or the teacher can personalize these rainbows by adding student names to the pot or the phrase \u201cYou are the gold at the end of my rainbow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This bright and creative craft is a great St. Patrick\u2019s Day gift for someone special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Your student\u2019s handprint<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Paint<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Cardstock<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Choose the template that you want to use in your classroom or homeschool with your student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf The templates are already put together, so simply choose the template you want to use, add your student\u2019s handprint, and laminate if you want to keep it up or use it annually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Patrick\u2019s Day ideas come in different varying levels of ease, and this is one easy craft idea that teachers and students will all love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This St. Patrick’s day craft is similar to the mesh art that students will have completed before. Instead of creating a mesh outline in this activity, this easy game is perfect for creating a clover or shamrock that will be memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n Shamrock art that can be used multiple times and can be customized for each student\u2026 how lucky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf A cut out of a shamrock or clover<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Paint (any color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Mesh (think of what a nag of oranges is made of, or the back part of a sponge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Rubber bands<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Cut out a shamrock that you want to paint and decorate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or a paint pallet next to your paper. Wrap your mesh up with a rubberband to form a small mesh mall. Dip it in paint, section each shamrock off, and paint it in different colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Set aside your newly bedazzled clover, and let it dry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n These great clovers allow students to personalize their St. Patrick\u2019s Day. That\u2019s the best part of crafts for kids when their ideas can be personalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A magical activity for a magical season, this kindergarten St. Patrick\u2019s Day activity is a great way to keep students gasping and engaged!<\/p>\n\n\n \u25cf A piece of paper towel<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf A Sharpie or permanent Marker<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Washable markers<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Water and a water dropper<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Fold your paper towel in half, and inside, write your student\u2019s name with Sharpie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Fold over the top of your paper towel, and use washable markers to draw and color a shamrock on the top layer of the paper towel. You can color in the shamrocks or decorate them with stripes or polka dots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf One at a time, have the students fill up a water dropper and put a few drops of water on each shamrock while their name magically appears underneath, one letter at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This St. Patrick\u2019s day activity is a magical craft would be great to do with students\u2019 names or even sight words. Have them practice reading new vocabulary one drip at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This St. Patrick\u2019s Day activity is worth trying for the lack of mess alone. I can imagine it being a huge hit in preschool or Kindergarten, where the students love to paint, but the teacher loves not to ruin the carpet!<\/p>\n\n\n \u25cf A piece of cardstock cut like a shamrock<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf A ziplock bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Paint (any color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Cut out your cardstock shamrock, and put it inside your ziplock bag (but don\u2019t close it yet.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Squirt in the paint you want on your shamrock, then close the ziplock bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Using your hands, move the paint around to coat the shamrock in the design you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is such a great rainy-day activity, and a great craft idea for young kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a super cute and easy-to-prep March printable activity. Multiple options exist a St. Patrick’s day Rainbow, Leprechaun, and Shamrock Hat. They come in colored and ink saver versions for kids to color, cut and paste.
