I’m looking for something, possibly to do with St. Patricks Day, for preschooler to make that is quick and easy. Any suggestions?
Here are a few. If none of these catch you eye, have no fear I’ve included lots of websites for you to seach for that perfect craft. Have fun!!
Leprechaun Ladder!
Need: Yarn, Straws, Green Construction paper, and Scissors.
Directions: Cut about 10 Shamrocks out for each child. Make the Shamrocks Small. About 3 inches wide. Cut Straw into 2 inch pieces. String the Straws and the shamrocks. One Straw, One Shamrock, One Straw, One Shamrock, One Straw, One Shamrock, etc…. (A good Idea is to put tape on one end of the string so it does not come apart, while Stringing. Tape the second end to the table so the objects don’t come off the other side.) When it is done tie a knot in the Yarn on both side. Hang it From the Ceiling. You can make them as long or as short as you wish. They really look great. Also a great Stringing project for Preschoolers.
Paper Plate Shamrock
Need: 3 paper plates, Green Crayons, Green Construction paper, glue, and scissors.
Directions: Color all three paper plates green. Cut a stem from green construction paper. Glue the three paper plates together and in a triangle type shape. Then glue the stem at the bottom.
Coffee Filter Shamrock
Need: Coffee Filter, 2 baby food Jars, Water, scissors, Yellow and Blue food coloring, and a Q-tip
Directions: Cut Coffee filter in the shape of a shamrock. Put water in two baby food jars. Add yellow food color in one jar and blue in the other. Give the children Q-tips and let them mix the colors on the coffee filter. You end up with a very interesting green shamrock.
Texture Shamrocks
Need: Green paint, grits, paper
Directions: Have the children use green finger-paint that has been mixed with grits (to give it a texture) to cover a shamrock shape.

Decorator crabs at the new SEA LIFE™ Aquarium in Carlsbad arent waiting for St. Patricks Day to start wearing green. This time lapse photography only lasts about one minute but was taken overnight. Aquarists put algae, pieces of seaweed and green sponges in with decorator crabs and they quickly went to work embellishing their shells with the green décor. Decorator crabs recycle their living decorations during the molting process. They remove the anemones, sponges and other decorations from their old shell and use them to decorate their new shell. These decorator crabs are just one of more than 200 species of creatures in SEA LIFE Aquarium which is located next to LEGOLAND California as a separate admission. This weekend the Aquarium is offering a craft activity where kids can share how they care for our oceans. You can find more information at www.SEALIFEus.com.

Chris makes a classic, one pot meal. He makes a traditional St. Patrick’s day dinner. This is a dish where the earthy flavor stands out thanks to the root vegetables. Simplicity is the key ingredient to this meal. Being able to let each vegetable’s flavor shine was Chris’ main goal. The corned beef was nice and tender when sliced against the grain. This dish is a simple winner.
