I work in an assisted living facility. I need a craft idea for St Patrick's day. It needs to be useful, maybe a decoration, and not too difficult. The residents don't want to do anything that looks like a kid would make. Any Ideas?
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
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.
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!
Thank you.

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

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