Materials:
green construction paper
scissors
glue
stapler
gold glitter
green straw
thin ribbon in both green and gold

Instructions:

1. Cut three heart shapes from the green paper. Glue the tips of the three shapes together to form a shamrock.

2. Staple the center of the shamrock to the end of the straw to make a handle

3. Decorate the shamrock with gold glitter

4. Cut three or more 3 foot ribbons. Hold the ribbons together and staple them to the back of the shamrock at the center so that the ends hang down from the shamrock wand.

5 Cut several tiny shamrocks and staple them along the ribbons.

Maybe your magic wand will help you catch a leprechaun!!
