Handy Shamrocks On a white sheet of paper trace a shamrock pattern on it and cut it out( One sheet for every child). Then brush green paint on the child's hand and place it (making a print) in the center of the paper. Let dry and glue it on the green construction paper. Add a little green glitter for some sparkle	Thank You The Idea Box
Shamrock Tissue Paper Art Give each child his or her own paper with shamrock (or any seasonal pattern) traced on it to fill the page. Put glue inside pattern and let children spread it out with their fingers. Wipe off children's hands with a wet wipe. Have green tissue paper cut into small squares (1" X 1" is a good size) and placed in a bowl or dish. Let the children crumple up the tissue and place the squares inside the pattern. After the glue has dried, the pattern can be cut out, and hung on the walls or from the ceiling for wonderful seasonal (and free!) decorations. (Hint: It creates a neat effect if two or more shades of tissue paper are used and overlaped.)	Thank You The Idea Box
