DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids Easy Shamrock Paper Craft Younger children will find this a very easy craft to make.  The shape has big, bold lines with relatively few curves which should make it easier for preschoolers to cut out on their own.  Thanks to Karen for adding the Popsicle stick idea and the great song!

You can choose between the full page template (one shamrock on the page) or the half page template (two shamrocks on one page).

Materials:

• scissors
• glue
• printer (we used construction paper)
• paper
• one of:            colored macaroni
                          or
                          colored rice
                          or
                          Fruit Loops
  
  click links for directions on how to color them if you don't already know.  Fruit loops are the best choice for very young or large groups of children as they are safe to nibble on.
   
• OPTIONAL:  something to color with, sparkle glue or glitter
• OPTIONAL:  popsicle stick

Directions:

• Print out the template of choice.
   
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
   
• Decorate the shamrock with fruit loops, colored macaroni or colored rice.
   
• Hang on the fridge!

  Glue your shamrock to a Popsicle stick and make your Shamrock dance while you sing this song:
