Paper
Plate Leprechaun
This is one of our favorite
easy crafts. All kids need to do is cut out the shape of a leprechaun
hat on green construction paper, take a paper plate and paint the edges
of it red or orange, draw on the face, and there you have it! It’s as
simple as that.
Shamrock
Onesie
We’re so inspired by
this adorable shamrock
onesie and other cute St. Paddy's Day onesies we discovered on Etsy.com! It’s a
fAuntastic gift for the first St. Patrick’s Day for a lucky baby niece
or nephew. And in the spirit of Etsy, consider DIYing your own! It's a great project to do with your older nieces
and nephews. Use a plain new onesie and have the older kids use safe
fabric paint or markers to decorate it. Alternatively, you can also find lots
of cool iron-on
shamrocks at
Etsy.com.
