Keepsake Thumbprint Shamrock
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.
Finish with a stem or however you choose! It’s that simple.
Isn’t it cute? I hope you have a festive St. Patrick’s Day!
