St. Patrick's Day Craft: Leprechaun Handprint

We made Leprechauns from our Toddlers little handprint.  It's cute and easy to make.

Materials needed: 

• Green, yellow, black, tan/peachy, orange construction paper
• Sticky eyes
• Black pen
• Scissors
• Glue

Step 1:  Trace handprint on orange construction paper then cut it out.

Step 2:  Cut out oval shape (with tan/peachy construction) enough to cover the palm of the orange construction paper.  Glue the pieces together.

Step 3:  Cut out the hat big (green construction paper) enough to cover the face.  Glue the buckle on the  hat.  Glue the hat to the face.

Step 4:  Stick eyes and draw the face

Handprint and Footprint Lobster

You will need:

• White construction paper
• Red ink pad (non toxic)
• Red marker
• Black marker
• Baby wipes
• 2 Eye stickers

1.  Press the child's foot onto the red ink pad then place child's foot onto the white construction paper.  Clean the foot with the baby wipe.  Next press the left hand onto the ink pad then onto the left side of the heel imprint on the construction paper.  Clean the left hand with the baby wipe.  Repeat with the right hand but press the hand imprint on the right side of the heel imprint on the construction paper. Wipe off all the ink from the right hand with a baby wipe.

2. Use the red marker to draw in the details for the arms, legs, and eye-stalks.  Stick the eyes over the eye-stalks then draw in a mouth.

This project would be cute in a frame or in an ocean themed bedroom/bathroom.
