Green Crafts for Kids #1: Shamrock Pin
Draw a shamrock shape free hand or trace using a cookie cutter on a heavy type of cardboard. Cut the shamrock shape out, adult help will most likely be necessary. Pour glue into a small dish and add green food coloring, the amount of food coloring will depend on intensity of green color desired. Paint the shamrock shape using the green glue, you will want a generous amount of glue on the shamrock shape. Press Cheerios, elbow noodles or any other type of item onto the green glue making sure to cover the shamrock shape completely. Allow time to dry. Once the shamrock shape is fairly dry, paint over the Cheerios (or what ever item is chosen) using the green glue once again and making sure to be generous with the green glue application. When the shamrock shape is completely dry, glue a pin on to the back of the shamrock shape. A variation on this green craft project could be to glue a magnet to the back of the shamrock shape.
