Colorful Shamrock Hearts

I had plenty of the foam Conversation Hearts left over from Valentine's Day. Mostly with out any words written on them. This was a great use for them, to make colorful Shamrocks.

Here are our supplies:

Foam hearts with adhesive backs

Green markers

White card stock

I showed them how to make them, and then used the marker for the stem.

 They did really well! However I did help the tot in the above photo, she enjoyed making several stems for the Shamrocks, one can never be too careful! :)

 Well done kiddos!

Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing what we were up to this week!

 Today we made Dancing Leprechaun's! A lot went into the making of this craft, but when it was completed it was well worth it.

I found this craft here, you can find all the directions there. Above is the things I used and I have to improvised for our needs, which was fine. 

 Here are the finished Leprechaun's. Some are as big as the tots! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!

St. Patrick's Day Pot O' Gold Craft

Today we made a Pot O' Gold craft for St. Patrick's Day!

 Supplies Used:
White, gold and black card stock
dot markers in the colors of the rainbow
glue
hole punch

I cut the pot at 9 inches with my Cricut machine with the black card stock
I used a 1 inch hole punch for the gold coins

 The children glued their black pots to the white card stock then added the gold coins.

 Next they used the dot markers to create the rainbow any way they wished.

I think they turned out great! These will go into their binders.

St. Patrick's Day Paper Rainbow's

This morning we made paper Rainbow's, and boy did they light over this! Kids love rainbow's.

Supplies Used:

Cut a 4 1/2 inch circle, added 2 hole punches
Cut 6- 1x11 inch rainbow strips
Also used white yarn to hang it up
Pencil

Yes, I made one too! :) Here we glued the circle with holes facing upward for yarn hanger.  I drew a line to mark where the glue should go, then the rainbow strips.

Here they are at work!

All done!

Shamrock Books

In honor of St. Patrick's Day I made shamrock matching books for the boys.

It's a four page book with different color shamrocks on each page that I had drawn in each corner.

I gave each of them twelve different color shaped hearts and their glue sticks & explained what to do.

When they were done they added a green stem to their shamrocks.

I just noticed I only have three pages shown besides the cover. :)

Great job guys!
