Looking for a fun and easy St. Patrick's Day crafts for the kiddos? A potato, some paint and paper, and a little creativity makes for the perfect project!
SUPPLIES
potato
knifewhite cardstockmarkersWRMK Crop-a-Dile (or hole punch)ribbon
washable craft pain
paper plate/bowl
Cut the potato in half, then carve your shape on the exposed edge (we used a chipboard heart for a template but you can also cut your shape freehand).
Use a bowl (or plate with raised sides) for the paint, so excess can be wiped off before stamping the potato on to the paper.
Working with younger kids? Don cut out a "handle" on one of the potatoes by cutting away the sides of the potato about halfway, then cutting a hole through the center.
To complete the project, let the kids write their names on the paper, then punch holes at the top, tie with ribbon, and set aside to dry. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
