Leprechaun Crafts for Kids

March 8, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Leprechauns are a fun aspect of St. Patrick’s Day, whether you are building leprechaun traps as a STEM activity or creating leprechaun art and crafts projects.

Here are a few fun leprechaun projects to make with your kids while reading a St. Patrick’s Day story or doing other themed activities.

These leprechaun finger puppets from I Heart Crafty Things are super cute, easy for kids to assemble and give those fingers an important workout. Use them in storytelling or create a game where kids need to do something with their fingers (collect pom-poms or other small objects, for example) while they are “wearing” the puppet.

MomBrite has a super cute printable leprechaun bookmark template where the little guy holds your place and peeks over the edge of the book. We always love crafts that also encourage reading!

This little leprechaun from Party and Bright would be perfect for adding to a greeting card or putting into a holiday themed scene. He has lots of parts so that’s a great fine-motor skill practice for the kids.

I love these super cute leprechaun bottle gnomes, which are a great project for older kids who can work safely with hot glue guns. Why should little ones have all the crafty fun? Grab the tutorial from Everyday Best.

Make a personalized leprechaun craft with this paper handprint leprechaun from Simple Everyday Mom or this one made with paint from Coffee and Carpool.

Or let kids practice lacing and tying knots with this paper plate leprechaun craft from Non Toy Gifts. So cute!

Bunny Activities for Kids

Of course bunnies aren’t just for Easter, but this time of year is a great time to bring in some learning activities with a rabbit theme. Check out these fun bunny learning activities for kids and use them to bring a little springtime fun to the classroom or your learning at home.

These printable bunny shape mats from Fun a Day are great to use with playdough, or you can use little items like erasers or little pompoms to “trace” the shapes. Or check out all the Easter themed playdough mats from Printables Fairy if you want some different options, including decorating Easter eggs and adding ears to the bunny.

Happy Toddler Playtime’s bunny stick wall is a pretty quick and easy project that will keep kids entertained for a long time. This blog also has a great collection of Easter bunny crafts and activities if you’re looking for a project or two to try.

Play with bunnies and learn shapes with these bunny shape stick cards from A Blog from the Pond. Use craft sticks to make bunnies in the shapes shown on the cards. There are 52 cards with all kinds of different shapes, which you can see on the blog and purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers.

This bunny hop game from Teaching Littles is great for gross motor skill development (also known as getting kids up and moving through the day). The bunnies are numbered so it also includes counting. You could add a sequencing element like hop on one, step on two, or hop on one foot or both feet.

The Feed the Bunny ten frame activity from Stay at Home Educator is a fun way to work on counting. These bunnies have dots on the ten frame on their bellies and you match them to the carrot with the same number on it. This is a free printable activity.

And if you want to add a little STEM fun to your Easter bunny play, check out the cute jumping bunny cup experiment from MomBrite. Kids can decorate their cups to look like bunnies, then have a jumping contest!
