1) Kid-Friendly Clover Hat
For all the kiddos in your life, you should try making a clover craft with them! You can start by taking a paper plate and outlining the clover. There are plenty of templates to choose from online so you don't have to sketch your own. Once the clover is traced onto the plate, paint or color away. Once dry, use scissors or an X-Acto knife to precisely cut the clover from the center of the plate. Voila, just lie that, a clover hat perfect to rock throughout the day and at any parade you would attend.
2) Decorate Your Home
When celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, the most obvious choice is wear a lot of green. You can also be creative by decorating your own house!
