This week's Craft of the Week features a cute St. Pat's Leprechaun Hat. This is a good craft for younger kids and perfect for group settings. What you need: Small paper plate Paper cup Green acrylic paint Paint brushes White craft glue Hole punch Green yarn Construction paper- black and yellow What you do: Paint the paper plate and the outside of the cup green. Once the paint is dry, glue the cup upside down in the center of the bottom of the paper plate. Cut a piece of black construction paper 1 inch thick and long enough to wrap around the cup where it is glued onto the paper plate. This will be the band on the hat. Glue it into place. You can also cut out a small yellow buckle for the hat band if you like. Using the hole punch make a hole on both sides of the "hat" so that you can attach the yarn to make a tie for the hat. After making the holes, measure yarn an appropriate length for the particular child. Run it through each hole and tie a knot on the end so it will stay in the hole. To wear the hat tie using the yarn ties under the child's chin. St. Pats Candles Paulette's St. Patrick's Day candles are beautiful and fun to make.
