Materials

• Orange washable paint

• White construction paper or cardstock

• Googly eyes

• Red crayon

• Glue

• Green and yellow construction paper

• Scissors

• Paper plate or paint tray

• Glitter (if you'd like)

Directions

1. Pour a small amount of orange paint onto a paper plate.

2. Have the child cover their hand with paint.

3. Press the hand firmly onto the paper with fingers spread. This will be the leprechaun’s beard.

4. Lift the hand straight up and let the paint dry completely.

5. Glue googly eyes just above the handprint.

6. Draw a nose and smile with a black marker.

7. Cut a simple green hat from construction paper and glue it above the eyes.

8. Cut a small yellow rectangle or square and glue it onto the hat to make the buckle.

*Bonus: Add glitter (if you'd like) and the artist's name at the bottom of the page.
