We have been making a lot of St. Patrick’s Day crafts and green shamrocks. Today, I will be sharing something different than the traditional green shamrock. An Irish shamrock.
Green, white, and orange are the colors of the Irish flag. Today we are making shamrocks using the colors of the Irish flag.
This was also a great opportunity for us to look up Ireland and the flag. I love it when a craft becomes a learning opportunity.
