Crafty Wednesday: Clover Messages

[The Little Seed]

St. Patty's Day is fast approaching and we have a fun craft project to do with the kids. Instead of a message in a bottle, how about a message on a four leaf clover? It will be a fun way to get creative while expressing your child's wishes for the month of March. So make sure to save the next cardboard box you receive and get your paint out...

Here's what you'll need....

cardboard box

scissors

paint

markers

imagination

First, trace out a four leaf clover on a piece of cardboard. If it's easier you can use an image of a clover and blow it up to trace. Next, cut out your beautiful clover. Here's where your child can be creative... paint your clover whatever color you want, it doesn't necessarily have to be green or solid - try yellow with blue stripes. Now tell your child to write on the back of their beautiful clover... they can write about their wishes for March or what they hope to accomplish in March. Have them hang it in their room for decoration and inspiration.
