St. Patrick's Day Craft Party!

On Monday (because that's when we could all get together), we had a St. Patrick's Day Craft Party. We even had a treasure hunt planned:

With a treasure waiting at the end!


But first, we started with a couple of cute St. Patrick's art projects. The first one was a handprint rainbow. We got all of the colors of the rainbow and painted the kids hands each color.






Then we arced their handprints across the paper.




Then we added pots of gold for the end. They turned out super cute!


The next craft was making a leprechaun's face. I had all of the pieces cut out, they just had to assemble them.


Aren't they cute??








Finally, it was time for the treasure hunt!



The kids raced around the house and out in the backyard to find the next clue!









They reached the last place and found their treasure!!



All of that running around makes you hungry and thirsty, so of course we had to have some yummy green treats!




Thanks everyone for helping make this another great craft day!

    1. I don't remember exactly what I wrote on all of the cards. (Sorry!) they all rhymed and took the kids to different places in our house though.
