St. Patrick’s Day crafts for kids {printables}

Happy March everyone!! Are you ready to trade the red and pink hearts for St. Patrick’s day crafts and activities with your kids? As the days get a little bit warmer and the sun starts to peek through these rainy days, I can feel my mood getting better and better. And I think it’s happening with my boys too. We’ve had some really good days over here in the past couple of weeks!

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and since Oscar came home with all of his February artwork I can tell his school is already moving on from the Valentines and hearts and candy. And so are we!

Last week I decided to try a little craft with BOTH kids, which is really a post in itself. It was a little crazy, but we ended up with two adorable little leprechauns so I am calling it a win! We made little leprechaun hats and they love them! I have a feeling we’ll be searching for that pot of gold all month. Maybe I’ll even buy a box of Lucky Charms. Who knows!

DIY Leprechaun Hat for kids!

I created the template below to make your own hats if you like. The instructions are on the 2nd page of the pdf and it’s super easy! This would also make a great class craft so if you are a teacher looking to St. Patrick’s Day crafts with your class, I think this would be great for any Preschool age and even Kindergarten.
