Rainbow Shamrock Craft

Easy Toddler St Patricks Day Shamrock Craft

My favorite crafts to create around St Patricks Day are all rainbows and shamrocks.  Thats why I decided to combine the 2 into this simple Preschool Shamrock craft.  I know green is the traditional color, but I love this little colorful twist.  Don’t you?  Read on to find out how we made them.

I precut a number of little squares of tissue paper in the colors of the rainbow.  I was surprised with how many we used, so make sure to cut lots.

Simply glue the colorful squares onto the paper with watered down glue.  Tissue paper tares easily when wet.  By watering the glue down, it helps keep the tissue paper from rips.

Set aside to dry.

Have you tried making our Coffee Filter Shamrocks?  They look great hanging in your window and use the same Shamrock template.

I love the rainbow colors of this simple St Patricks Day craft.  We have made a number of green shamrocks, so this is a refreshing twist.  Love it!

We also created these adorable St. Patricks Day Cards.  So easy, and perfect for spreading a little good-luck.  We made a smaller version of the Shamrock template so it fits on a 4×6 card.  (click here to print)
