For those with small children, each season and each holiday provides another opportunity for a FUN DIY arts and craft project. I do these all the time with my girls, who are 4 and 2 by the way... Somehow I'm still sane enough to write this. 

Saint Patrick's Day is coming up March 17th and is such an easy one to do fun, simple activities. One of my favorites is making 4 Leaf Clovers. Everyone wants to find a 4 leaf clover but making them can be MUCH easier. Like 2 steps.. my kinda craft. ☘

Grab yourself a big piece of white paper and some green paint and put the littles in some old clothes...now HAVE FUN. (Construction paper, canvases, anything will work)

1st. Draw a long Green stem through the middle of the page. (For those with toddlers emphasis those colors)

2nd. Let them put their hands in the paint and use the handprints for each of the 4 clover petals.

Make sure to have an extra paper to make some for Grandma's, Teachers, etc. Everyone loves keepsakes like these. Always date the back and put ur child's name on it too. ❤

Boom! Done!

Make as many as u want and of course, enjoy the playtime. You can also explain a little about St. Patrick's Day to slip in some education amongst the messy fun. ☘

Finally a little Mom advice, Pinterest can befriend or fo, be picky with those crafts and know ur kids. Don't be afraid of getting messy that's what bath time is for.
