Shamrock Sort by Size

Hi all!  I've had so much fun with rainbows that it's been hard to add actual St. Patrick's Day activities.  We did sort shamrocks by size!  Feel free to download the Shamrock Size sort PDF.

Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St Patty's Pomander

I just love this decoration from my St. Patty's Day mantel.  It's puffy, colorful and super fun.  I got the original idea from a Pinterest Pin {I love that place, don't you?} when it was done in pink.

Simple... 

Clover Art

Yup, you've seen kids handprints done into art about a million ways, so here's number 1,000,001 :-).  I used both of my kids prints and their hands are different sizes.  I love using the "heart" type of overlapped hands to make each shamrock leaf.  Super cute,

I had a TON of fun making this little project.  So bright and cheery! I used this Pinterest Pin as my inspiration.  I covered an 8x10 piece of cardboard with a great green fabric, then I made 5 of the cute felt shamrocks.  I promise you felt is easiest...  I made them with paper, with fabric and then with felt as shown on the pin.  Neither the paper nor the fabric worked well.  I then hot glued the shamrocks down, removed the glass from a picture frame and popped it in.  I love the way it's 3-D and adds great color to my St. Patrick's Day mantel!

St Patty's Day Banner Sewing Tutorial

My banner is the finishing touch on my mantel.  I had so much fun sewing it.  I am NOT a seamstress, but I can sew a straight line which is exactly what is needed to make the banner.  As long as you have access to a sewing machine and can sew a straight line, you can make one for yourself too!

St Patrick's Day Tracing and Cutting

Happy Friday!  Woo hoo!  Here are some great tracing and cutting printables to use with your little ones.  Learning to trace top to bottom and left to right is an essential skill in learning to write.  In addition, cutting practice is a very important fine motor skill.  Practice cutting daily!

St Patty's Day Inspired Wreath

Oh my GOSH, do I love this wreath?!?!?  Yup, I most certainly do!

I took my Valentine's wreath and turned it into this.  Although it's not overtly St Patrick's Day colors, it was inspired by the holiday.  I have a feeling it will make it's way back to my front door in May/June after my Spring one comes down.  I really does look "every day". 

St Patty's Day Mantel

Ohhh... the next holiday is coming and I get to take down V-day and move on to the next fun I found!  St Patrick's Day...  although my maiden name IS Reilly, I'm not much into beer and don't actually believe in luck or leprechauns, but I can still enjoy the holiday with my family.  Here is a peek at my St. Patty's Day mantel.  I'll be posting pics and tutorials over the next 2ish {don't think that's a word, oh well} weeks on how I made each thing!  So excited to share with you.  I hope you think it's as adorable as I do!  If you want to know why I'm not lucky check back.  I'll explain it, or better yet, follow along via Facebook or e-mail.  :-)  Now to keep my plants alive for an entire month!
