Hi Lori,

We've got some more ideas on a pinterest board here:

The little ribbon shamrocks and ribbon wreath look like nice and easy activities. Also the hanging shamrock garlands.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the ideas. I am trying to find some easy not so kid like crafts. This is awesome.
Thank you.

You could make door wreaths with fabrics! They enjoy making the wreaths because they can reuse them every year!

If that is too hard then what I do is have the presidents collar in a mandala in green or any color really and cut it in the shape of a shamrock

Hi there, I'm irish born and refuse to do crafts that look baby ish too.... so for st patricks day I had the residents help me cut out heart shapes on green card.... 3 of these together make a cute shamrock. if you gentle creas each heart it looks like a leaf. place one in the middle and one of each side. hey presto

Hi Sara
This is a great idea
Thank you

susan this is some of them on my march bulletin board. the shamrock was used by st Patrick to represent the holy trinity...the father in the middle the son and the holy spirit. so shamrocks and not four lead clovers are associated with him.

Wow Sara what a great bulletin board
You are very creative and an inspiration to us

I think making little shamrocks and stringing them together is a good idea, also having an irish themed quiz, and attempting the irish jig!

thanks Susan
I put a lot of hours planning and designing/creating their board each month
