Leprechauns are a fun aspect of St. Patrick’s Day, whether you are building leprechaun traps as a STEM activity or creating leprechaun art and crafts projects.
Here are a few fun leprechaun projects to make with your kids while reading a St. Patrick’s Day story or doing other themed activities.
These leprechaun finger puppets from I Heart Crafty Things are super cute, easy for kids to assemble and give those fingers an important workout. Use them in storytelling or create a game where kids need to do something with their fingers (collect pom-poms or other small objects, for example) while they are “wearing” the puppet.
MomBrite has a super cute printable leprechaun bookmark template where the little guy holds your place and peeks over the edge of the book. We always love crafts that also encourage reading!
This little leprechaun from Party and Bright would be perfect for adding to a greeting card or putting into a holiday themed scene. He has lots of parts so that’s a great fine-motor skill practice for the kids.
I love these super cute leprechaun bottle gnomes, which are a great project for older kids who can work safely with hot glue guns. Why should little ones have all the crafty fun? Grab the tutorial from Everyday Best.
Make a personalized leprechaun craft with this paper handprint leprechaun from Simple Everyday Mom or this one made with paint from Coffee and Carpool.
Or let kids practice lacing and tying knots with this paper plate leprechaun craft from Non Toy Gifts. So cute!
