Shamrock Craft

 If you're trying to get in the St Patrick's Day spirit with a cute craft for your kiddos, try this...

We have shamrocks galore in our backyard this time of year, so this was a perfect way to get my kids outside for a while, while they collected enough shamrocks.

When my kids were busy collecting, I drew a big pot on a piece of card stock. Then I took a nail and poked many, many holes in the paper.

My kids then stuck the stems of the shamrocks through those holes until their pots were overflowing. This was great for my 5 year old's hand-eye coordination! 

I got this idea from a video I saw of someone drawing a vase, and then filling the vase with fresh flowers from outside (if you know the source, please share it with me!).
