Fine Motor Rainbow Shamrock Craft {Free Shamrock Printable}

March 10, 2014 By Emily 7 Comments

 

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner I thought it would be fun to do some shamrock crafts with my preschooler.  The one feed back I hear over and over from his preschool class is that he needs to work more on his fine motor skills.  So when I went to go create a project I wanted to make sure it would be fun for him, pay homage to the season, and help him work on his fine motor skills.

Supplies Needed for Shamrock Craft:

"Shamrock Craft" "St. Pattys Day Craft" "St. Patrick's Day Craft" "Rainbow Shamrock" "Children's Crafts" "Fine Motor Skills Crafts" "Preschool Crafts"

  • Food Coloring
  • Cheerios (Lucky Charms would also work.)
  • Glue
  • Shamrock Template
  • Plastic Bags
  • Cupcake liners (or small container to keep colors separate)

Directions:

  • Print out Shamrock Template.
  • Separate cereal into 4 baggies.
  • Place 1-2 drops of food coloring in each bag.
  • Have child shake and mix up coloring until most of the cereal is covered.
  • Pour cereal into cupcake liners.
  • Cover one section of clover with glue and have child fill it up with one color.

  • Do the same for the remaining 3 sections.

You can then use the remaining colored cheerios to make a rainbow with cotton ball clouds.  Or feel free to print out more shamrocks and get creative.

Other ideas for more shamrock crafts include:

  • String them along and make a banner.
  • Younger children can finger paint.
  • Create tie dyed shamrocks with circle sponge applicators and different shades of green. (My son loved this one.)
  • Fill shamrocks with stickers.
  • Stamp shamrocks into the shamrock.
  • Print smaller shamrocks – tape them down to paper and have child paint over them. Remove the shamrocks to see a fun design.
  • Trace shamrock onto parchment paper, cut and glue tissue paper on.  Place on a window for a fun sun-catcher.

All of these shamrock craft ideas are perfect for ages 2-7 plus they are working on fine motor skills but having too much fun to know it’s educational!
