Lay the light blue construction paper onto the work surface in front of the child.
Cut a wide strip of green construction paper to fit on the bottom third of the light blue, this will be the grass.
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.
Tear remaining construction paper into strips, then into squares.
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:
ØBlack pot
ØRainbow
ØGold in pot
Øsun
Apply shamrock stickers to various places on the grass.
Helpful Hints
Keep a stock of construction paper for fun impromptu projects.
Buy holiday themed stickers and supplies after each holiday when they go on clearance!
If you have carbon paper, you can use this to trace the pattern instead of creating indents and drawing over them.
