Check out this simple sponge paint shamrocks craft. This makes an excellent St. Patrick’s Day craft for kids.
For this St. Patrick’s Day craft, I re-used the sponge hearts that I used for Valentine’s Day. I love it when I can re-use my craft supplies.
Don’t worry if you don’t have leftover heart sponges, you can simply cut a heart shape from a sponge.
My son and I made a traditional shamrock, by sponge painting 3 hearts.
My daughter said she was making a four-leaf clover because she wants good luck. I love her creativity. I hadn’t thought about making a four-leaf clover.
