St. Patrick's Day Crafts



We did a few crafts for St. Patrick's Day. First, we made leprechaun traps...that I didn't get a picture of! We painted McDonald's Happy Meal containers green and added a rainbow made from pipe cleaners to the top. We added a few golden circles and had a very enticing trap for the leprechauns. We also mixed yellow and blue paint to make green and later cut them into shamrocks.

Later, we painted some shamrocks and decorated them with different ribbons.

On St. Patrick's Day itself, we got the shaving cream. (The bottle just so happened to be green...)

A drop of green food coloring later and we had Leprechaun Cream!

Clayton dove right in!

"I just can't do it!" Levi said about putting his fingers in the pile.


It feels so good to squish it between your fingers...


And of course, we can't do anything without adding in a dinosaur or two.
