Craft: Paper Plate Leprechaun
This week's craft was based on the picture at left. The kids colored a face and hair onto a large paper plate before gluing on a green hat. They could cut slits around the plate for the beard if they liked.
Literacy Extensions:
- Learn about the history of St. Patrick's Day. Tomie DePaola's book Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland gives a lot information about the real St. Patrick.
- Practice cutting shapes by making shamrocks out of various shapes (i.e. circles, hearts, ovals, etc.)
