St. Patrick's Day Wreaths
More St. Patrick's Day Wreath Ideas:
Rainbow Paper Plate Wreath: Start with a paper plate with the center cut out. Let children color or glue strips of colored paper in a rainbow pattern around the rim, finishing with a pot of gold or a shamrock at the bottom, center.
Rainbow Handprint Wreath: Cut handprints out of different pieces of paper or use paint to stamp handprints in a wreath shape. This can be a fun class project with everyone contributing one handprint.
Ribbon-Tie Wreath: Cut several strips of green ribbon or fabric, and tie them around a small cardboard ring to cover it. Don't trim the ends of your knots... leave them sticking out to decorate your wreath. This no-glue, no-mess wreath is perfect for children who know how to tie a knot.
Yarn Wreath: Wrap a foam wreath form in green yarn, and let kids decorate it with pom-poms, glittery stickers, and paper shamrocks for a cozy, textured look.
Gold and Green Pasta Wreath: Paint pasta shapes gold and green, then glue them onto a cardboard ring. This wreath is a fun way for kids to practice their painting and gluing skills.
You could also do this in rainbow colors instead of green.
You can pre-dye your pasta or paint it once it's glued onto the wreath.
Fabric Square Wreath: A more advanced wreath option using scraps of fabric pushed into a styrofoam wreath. You could use shades of green for an Irish theme or a full rainbow colors!
These child-friendly St. Patrick's Day wreath crafts encourage creativity and imagination, allowing kids to celebrate the holiday with their own handmade decorations.
