This craft is sure to bring you luck!
Ah, springtime – the season of newness blooming into existence! It is also symbolic of life showing us the early signs of future potential. Talk with your child during this activity as a way to show how possibilities are endless and to celebrate the little clover that is revered as a token of magical protection, all while practicing fine motor skills and counting.
Materials:
- Large marshmallow
- Green washable paint
- White paper
Directions:
- Place paper on a table.
- Dip the end of the marshmallow into the paint.
- Use the marshmallow to stamp 3 circles to resemble a shamrock.
- Use the edge of the marshmallow to create the stem.
Literacy Connection:
The story of Willow’s Whispers by Lana Button is the perfect companion to the shamrock painting as a way of connecting the new possibilities your child has and showing how sometimes it takes a little magic inside to speak up for yourself!
