This craft is some much fun and we think it’s one of the cutest we’ve shared! Watching your children create their own leprechaun house is fantastic. Younger kids will enjoy finger painting their house while older children will enjoy adding unique details like windows or roof designs. A great activity for the classroom.

What do you need to make a cute Kid’s Lucky Leprechaun House?

• Miniature birdhouse
• Wood circle
• Paint
• Paper, silk or felt flowers
• Glue gun
• Gold sequins
• Black marker

How do you make a Fun Kid’s Lucky Leprechaun House?

• Paint the birdhouse
• Paint the wood circle light brown
• Attach the birdhouse
• Draw on tiny footprints with a black marker (littles might need help with this part)
• Glue on flowers and other decorations
• Glue on gold pieces (golden sequins)

Easy to Follow Photo Tutorial!

First, paint the birdhouse. Since our helper is young he used his fingers to paint the birdhouse! Finger painting is a great activity to help develop fine motor skills. It’s fun to see what each child paints, how much detail they add and what colours they choose.

Next, paint the wood circle light brown. Set it aside to dry completely then attach the birdhouse using glue.

Draw tiny footprints onto the wooden base with a black marker. Littles may need help creating the footprints.

Then, glue on the flowers. Add as many as you or your child like!

Finally, glue on the gold pieces (gold sequins!)

What do you need to make a St. Patrick’s Day Home Decor?

• Wooden square
• Four small wooden hearts
• Paint – white, green
• Sandpaper
• Glue
• Green glitter
• Hot glue

How do you make a DIY Clover Hearts Home Decor?

First, paint a wooden square green. Set it aside to let it dry completely before beginning in the next step.

Next, paint a layer of white over the green. Set it aside to dry once more.

Using a fine sandpaper, sand the white paint to reveal the green underneath. Vary the pressure throughout the wooden square to create more or less green. The design is up to you!

Once the square is finished you can begin to decorate the small wooden hearts. Start by covering the hearts with glue.

Then, cover them in glitter! Be sure to press the glitter into the heart firmly.

Finally, glue the wooden, glittery hearts onto the square.

That’s it! This piece looks great on the mantel or on the table as a festive addition to your table setting. Enjoy!

What ingredients do you need to make a fun St. Patrick’s Day Recipe?

• 36 Golden Oreo cookies
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• Gel food colouring in the colours of a rainbow (red, yellow, blue, green, purple)
• White chocolate melts
• Dark chocolate melts
• Rainbow sprinkles

How do you make St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Truffles?

This recipe is so easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and it’s no-bake! You will need a food processor and a microwave to make this dessert. Simply put the golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they are crumbs (don’t remove the cream). Then, in a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Next, divide the mixture into 5 equal parts and add a different colour of food colouring to each. Blend until the colour is solid. Keep reading for the final touches!

Firstly place thirty six whole Oreo cookies into a food processor (the whole cookie). Pulse the cookies until they become fine crumbs.

Secondly, place the crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, mix with a hand mixer until well blended. Next, divide the mixture into equal parts and add in two-three drops of food colouring to each part. Blend with a spatula.

On a piece of parchment paper, roll each ball into a log and stack them on top of one another. Roll the rainbow log in the parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 5 min.

Remove from the fridge and scoop the mixture into balls, a tablespoon works great for this! Roll the mixture into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the mixture is used.

Place the rolled balls into the freezer for 15min.

Rainbow Truffles!

While the rainbow balls are chilling, melt the white and dark chocolate (in separate bowls) in the microwave. Melting times may vary, be sure to follow the melting instructions on the chocolate you have.

Once the Oreo balls have chilled, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Top with the sprinkles immediately as the chocolate will dry quickly! Set them aside to set completely.

Viola! A FUN and EASY St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Idea!
