St. Patty's Day "Magic" Project for the Kids!

This is a real easy one to do and it will teach the kids that by mixing colors, you can come up with new colors (good primary color lesson)!

Have your child cut out a shamrock shape that you have given them (or do it for them if they are too little). Then, put some yellow paint and some blue paint on the shamrock. Give your child a paintbrush and tell them to mx the colors together! The kids will love this! It is like a magic trick! A new color will appear and the other two colors they started with will disappear! AMAZING!

St. Patty's Day Activity - Work on Colors and Cutting

This was an easy project that the kids loved! What kid doesn't love painting and mixing paints to get new colors. We worked with blue and yellow paint to see what new color we could come up with! I traced a shamrock shape onto white paper and then gave the kids blue and yellow paint to mix and paint the shamrock with. The kids liked looking at the different shades of green that we came up with. The more yellow you use, the lighter the green. The more blue you use, the darker the green. What an easy project to help with cutting skills and learning what colors make new colors.

Happy St. Patty's Day Crafting!!!

Easy St. Patrick's Day Gifts for Classmates

I came up with a fun, easy and inexpensive little treat for my daughter and son to hand out to their classmates at school for St. Patrick's Day. I bought 2 big boxes of Fruit Roll Ups (Fruit by the Foot). Their package was green so it was perfect! I typed up a message (in green ink) that read: "I am LUCKY to roll with you!" "Happy St. Patrick's Day!"

I cut out the messages, rolled them around the Fruit Roll Ups and secured with tape!
