Materials

  • White paper or card stock
  • Green Paint
  • Paper plate or paint palette
  • Green Glitter glue
  • Googly eyes
  • Marker

Instructions

This is the cutest little shamrock I have ever seen. To make him (or her!) squeeze a small amount of
green paint onto a paper plate. Lightly press the underside of your (or your child’s) thumb into the paint.

Press the painted thumb onto a piece of paper. Repeat this in a circle pattern, with the bottom of the
thumbprint slightly touching the other each time. (see photo below)

The arrangement of thumbprints creates a shamrock! Use the glitter glue to decorate and add the
googly eyes.
