Paddy's Day craft for kids


With overfl owing spirits, pub crawls and boisterous parades, St. Patrick's Day celebrations are largely geared toward adults. Although children may experience a little bit of the festivities, they may not be able to participate fully in all of the activities.


That is why parents, teachers and caregivers can develop child-friendly activities that will enable children to enjoy the festivities of the day but also to do so in a way that is safe and age-appropriate.


One of the easiest ways to engage children for the holiday is to enable them to create hand-made decorations and games that can be displayed. With a few simple supplies, children can create a variety of festive items to share their enthusiasm.


An idea to get them started is to construct a rainbow and pot of gold complete with leprechaun.


To do so gather the following supplies: * poster board * clean, empty gallon milk container * crepe paper in rainbow colors and in black * gold foil circles * construction paper * glue * scissors * glitter, if desired


1. Draw and cut out a leprechaun using various shades of construction paper. Glue it to the posterboard.


2. Cut out half of the milk container to form a "pot." Use glue to adhere black crepe paper to it. Attach to the posterboard.


3. Stick gold foil circles to form the "gold coins" that will be fi lling the pot of gold.


4. Cut out pieces of crepe paper from the rainbow colors and attach to the posterboard to form the rainbow. Let the pieces end right near the pot of gold.


5. Allow kids to embellish further with glitter and any other things they may have on hand.


Display the leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in a prime spot during your St. Patrick's Day celebration.
