Shamrock art can be used multiple times and can be customized for each student… how lucky!


You need:
  • A piece of cardstock or paper to paint on
  • A cut out of a shamrock or clover
  • Paint (any color!)
  • Mesh (think of what a nag of oranges is made of, or the back part of a sponge)

To make:

  • Lay the cut out of the shamrock onto your cardstock. (Some people find it helpful to put a small piece of tape on the back of the shamrock to secure it to the cardstock to keep it from slipping.)
  • Squirt a small amount of paint onto a plate or a paint pallet next to your paper. 
  • Take the mesh you have and cut it into smaller, more manageable pieces, then crumble it into small pieces.
  • Have students dab the mesh into the paint, and encourage them to highlight the outlines of their shamrock, so it is obvious what is being outlined on the page. 
  • When you lift the shamrock from the middle of the page, your student should have a perfectly outlined image of a clover.
  • This is an easy activity for students of all ages to do during St. Patrick’s Day.
