Easy St. Patrick Craft Ideas from Pinterest

I've been scouring Pinterest for ideas to use this week for St. Patrick's Day. I like to do the fun stuff, but mostly I like to focus on Patrick the first missionary to Ireland.  If you want some websites with more ideas, visit my old post HERE.

I think I might just glue the pretzels together in the shamrock shape and then glue green glitter on it.

This could be fun to do every year and watch the shamrock get bigger and bigger!

You could turn this one into a mask if you cut out eye holes instead of gluing eyes on.

Easy way to make a clover.  I would like to make it and then use this poem in the middle.

Cute puppet, but going to the site doesn't give you details, so just make it up as you go along!

I really like how they made sure to put the colors of the rainbow in the correct order!

Even if you don't do the whole art project, it's a cool way to teach how to draw clover.

Love the hat. I'll probably save this for the day itself.

St. Patrick's Day

I hold St. Patrick's Day in high esteem, but not the way it's usually celebrated with little leprechauns and pots of gold.  I like to focus on the true meaning of the day which is celebrating the life of the first Christian missionary to Ireland.  Shamrocks are acceptable because they can teach about the Trinity.

My position does bring me some notice.  We were at a store the other day when mija noticed the "green stuff."  She asked me again what St. Patrick's Day was again.  I definitely got a few looks from people around me when I said it's a day that we remember Patrick who was the first missionary to Ireland and told them about God!

Anyway, will all that in mind, I decided to gather some St. Patrick stuff to share.  Yes, some will have leprechauns and such, but as long as the main focus is the truth, I'm "down" with it! :-)
