Shamrock/Clover in a bag 

This St. Patrick’s Day activity is worth trying for the lack of mess alone. I can imagine it being a huge hit in preschool or Kindergarten, where the students love to paint, but the teacher loves not to ruin the carpet!

You need:

• A piece of cardstock cut like a shamrock
• A ziplock bag
• Paint (any color!)

To make:

• Cut out your cardstock shamrock, and put it inside your ziplock bag (but don’t close it yet.)
• Squirt in the paint you want on your shamrock, then close the ziplock bag.
• Using your hands, move the paint around to coat the shamrock in the design you want.
• This is such a great rainy-day activity, and a great craft idea for young kids.
