St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Craft

With Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, we are gearing up with lots of festive science experiments, rainbow art and fun activities. To kick things off, we made a simple paper Leprechaun Craft. These little guys are completely adorable, and oh so fun to create. I hope you enjoy our easy St. Patrick’s Day kids craft.

How to make a Paper Leprechaun

Paper shapes outlined in the below image
Googly Eyes
White Glue either in a bottle or a Glue Sponge

Sorry I didn’t create a PDF template for this craft, but the shapes are really simple. In the image above you will find all the piece you need to create our simple Leprechaun. I just free hand drew our shapes free hand, but you could always do a search for Leprechaun printable.

Start by gluing the orange strips to the back of the Leprechaun’s head.

The kids loved squishing LOTS of glue as they assembled their Leprechaun faces.

I am in love with these extra large googly eyes, perfect for a Leprechaun. Thank-goodness for Craft Project Ideas, who gave us a wonderful pack of free craft supplies, including the adorable over-sized eyes that we used.
