Here's a fun little craft for everyone to do on this the greenest of all days! It's a Shamrock Buddy and you know what they say about how lucky shamrocks are! What you need: Green construction paper Glue stick Crayons Scissors What to do: Draw a shamrock that is about 6 inches in diameter. This will be the face of your buddy. Using crayons draw a face on the shamrock. Be creative. Have fun with it. Cut 2 strips of green construction paper that are 1 inch in width and 4 inches in length. Also cut 2 strips that are 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width. These will be your buddy's arms and legs. Fold each strip like a fan- folding forward and back. It should have an accordian look to it when you are done. Do this to each strip. Attach the strips with the glue stick. The 4 inch strips are your buddy's arms and the the 6 inch strips are the legs. Ideas from you From: Heather Evans I work at a daycare & like the idea but I think I will add some black boot and maybe a hat of some type just to add more character.
