St Patrick’s Day Crafts

It’s St Patrick’s Day today! If bar hopping downtown Peterborough isn’t your scene this year, or maybe your babysitter fell through, we’ve compiled a bunch of fun crafts you can do with (or without?) the kids!

  1. Shamrock Suncatcher – Cut out squares with green tissue paper and stick onto contact paper or self-adhesive laminating paper. Hang in a sunny window. Template included!

  2. Rainbow Handprint Art – Paint the palms of your child’s hand with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple paint and press them onto a piece of paper to create a rainbow.
