Fun Pot of Gold Crafts for Kids – St Patricks Day Ideas

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by making some fun pot of gold crafts.

Jen Around the World has a cute pot of gold made out of a flower pot and filled with Rolos. This might be one to make for kids instead of with kids, but if you use a plastic pot and stickers little kids could make it, too.

If you don’t want to include candy in your pot of gold you could also make your own gold nuggets out of rocks. This tutorial from Moms and Crafters shows you how.

Make a rainbow paper chain and a pot of gold with this easy craft from Crafty Morning. These would be fun as classroom decorations hanging from the ceiling if you want.

Printabulls has a collection of pot of gold coloring pages you can use as they are or use as templates for other craft projects. SB Digital Designs also has a printable pot of gold and rainbow craft you can color and assemble to make a three-dimensional pot if you like.

Joy in Crafting has a cool paper craft for making a three-dimensional pot of gold out of cardstock. The post includes a cut file but there’s also a template you can use and cut out by hand if you don’t have a cutting machine.

There’s a nice collection of pot of gold, rainbow and leprechaun crafts over at Our Kid Things. I like this thumbprint pot of gold craft idea.

These last ones are videos but they’re super cute so I wanted to include them. CraftISH Corner has a cute pot of gold and rainbow craft made with a paper plate and some pompoms or cotton balls.

And Crafting with Lona has a fun floating cauldron and gold coin DIY made with supplies from the dollar store. Since these involve hot glue they’re probably good for adults or older kids to make rather than letting the little ones make them.

After sharing some witch themed math activities, I found a bunch more fun printable worksheets with a Halloween theme for kids to try, so let’s take a look at some more low-prep Halloween learning fun.

Give kids practice measuring bats, spiders, ghosts and more with these printables from What I Have Learned Teaching. Kids can use a ruler, unit cubes or even little Halloween themed erasers to measure and track the size of the images.

Practice symmetry by drawing half a haunted house, ghost, skull or other simple images with this activity from Printables Hub.

I always love a good roll and draw activity, too, so check out this roll and draw a ghost activity (which has printable instructions) from Finding Myself Young.

Missy Printable Design has a cute set of Halloween worksheets for preschool, including tracing the letter H and a haunted house, spider counting, number tracing, sequencing, coloring pages and more.

The Halloween themed printables from The Artisan Life are meant to be playdough mats, and you can definitely use them for that to make the shape and trace the letters. But you could also use pipe cleaners or Wikki Stix, or line up buttons or anything else on them.

Older kids will enjoy this witch’s brew logic puzzle from Education.com. The witch has made different potions with different colors that do different things, and using the clues you can figure out which one is which. (Don’t worry; there’s an answer key included if you can’t figure it out on your own!)

Another fun puzzle is this decoder activity from Crafting Cheerfully. The holiday icons each represent a letter, and kids can use the decoder to answer the riddle. This isn’t a free resource (and the link in the post is broken but you can find it here) but it includes 20 riddles and an editable file so you can make up your own codes to decipher.
