We love celebrating St. Patrick's Day, especially with fun crafts and activities. You might already be saving empty egg cartons for Easter activities. Recycle one for this shamrock painting activity for St. Patrick's Day. You can even make a four-leaf clover!

Supplies needed for the Shamrock Painting Activity:

• green paint
• egg carton
• green marker
• paint brush

 

Instructions for Shamrock Painting Activity

1. Cut three sections from the egg carton so the three cups remained attached.

2. Press firmly in green paint. Wiggle the egg cups around to coat thoroughly with paint.

3. Press egg carton stamp onto paper.

4. Wiggle your fingers as you press down to spread the paint around a bit, forming the petals of the shamrock.

5. Complete the shamrock with a stem using a marker or paintbrush.

Four-leaf clover option: separate 4 egg carton cups for the stamp instead of 3.

 

Decorate your home or classroom with lots of shamrocks to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
