Foil Painted Shamrock Craft for Kids

Step 1

Start by cutting a shamrock shape out of green card, I did mine freehand but you can also grab our free shamrock template to make this a bit easier. I also recommend using card rather than paper for this craft as it will hold a lot more paint before it goes soggy.

Step 2

Scrunch your kitchen foil up to make a shape that you can dab into the paint and paint with.

Step 3

On the plate place your green, blue and yellow paints. You can encourage your child to make green paint themselves by mixing them, using a plate means that the paint is a lot easier to access (and less likely to get knocked over) than if you pop it into a pot. Using just the green paint is easier but it's fun to look at what different shades of green you can create with a bit of mixing.

Step 4

Dab the paint all over your shamrock shape using your foil until it is covered.
