Mosaic Pot of Gold

Kids will love making this fun picture for St. Patrick’s Day!

Age: 4 and up

What You Need

1 sheet of light blue construction paper

½ sheets of construction paper in green, red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, and black

shamrock stickers (optional)

white craft glue

scissors

pencil or pen

How To Make It

1. Lay the light blue construction paper onto the work surface in front of the child.
2. Cut a wide strip of green construction paper to fit on the bottom third of the light blue, this will be the grass.
3. Place pattern over the top of your construction paper. Use a pen or pencil to trace the pattern, press firmly so that the paper underneath is indented. Remove the pattern and lightly trace the indents with pencil or pen.
4. Tear remaining construction paper into strips, then into squares.
5. Following the pattern lines, use white craft glue to fill in different sections at a time then apply the paper squares onto the glue. We recommend the following order for best results:

Black pot

Gold in pot

Apply shamrock stickers to various places on the grass.
