Fun Shamrock Craft Projects

February 19, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

As St. Patrick’s Day nears, you might be wondering exactly what a shamrock is and how it differs from a clover. Often this time of year the two are used interchangeably, but technically a shamrock has three leaves while a clover could have three, but is usually shown as the lucky four-leaf clover.

There are some of both in this roundup of shamrock crafts and coloring pages, so you can talk about the differences or just download and use whatever kind you like.

If you want to go your own way and just need some templates, The Artisan Life has collections of both four-leaf clover and shamrock templates. Some of these you can just print out and color or trace to use in your projects, but some are large enough that the template only shows half the design so you need to trace it on a folded piece of paper to get the full effect.

Art with Jenny K has a great collection of shamrock art project ideas, many of which are downloadable from her Teachers Pay Teachers site. There is a freebie for a pop art shamrock if you’re looking for free resources, too.

Balancing Home has a pretty zentangle-looking shamrock coloring page that is great for adults or older kids to color. You could even try a challenge that each section has to be a different shade of green, or you can’t use the same color on two sections that touch.

How about some cute shamrock bookmarks? These printables from Carla Schauer are so sweet for kids to print and color to give to parents or use in the books at school.

If you’re looking for something a little craftier, Messy Little Monster has a great roundup of shamrock crafts for kids including slime, printing with peppers and the pretty bubble wrap shamrocks shown above.

Earth Day Printables and Activities

I know doing printables for Earth Day doesn’t sound very eco friendly, but it does give you a chance to talk to kids about how you can make the classroom or the home a little greener by only printing what you need, using low ink or only black and white printing, printing on the back of other pages, using recycled paper and recycling what you can when you are done.

These Earth Day printables help kids learn about Earth Day or use earth designs.

Pre-K Pages has Earth Day math printables, including a dice rolling game with a recycling theme, graphing, number grouping and sequencing activities.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a variety of printables for Earth Day including writing prompts, plant life cycle worksheets and links to other activities.

A Dab of Glue will Do has a little printable emergent reader book that explores the basics of Earth Day and some things we can all do to be kind to the planet. You can print it in color or black and white and have kids color it themselves.

Speaking of coloring pages, Preschool Mom has a collection of coloring pages with color versions that you can use as posters in the classroom as well as having kids color the black and white ones.

I love all the printable hands on activities from Differentiated Kindergarten, which help kids build fine motor skills with an Earth Day twist. You’ll find printable mats for use with playdough, geo boards, snap cubes, pattern blocks and Legos, as well as a Q-tip painting activity. You can get these when you sign up for emails.

Here are a few more quick printable Earth Day activities for your kiddos:
