Directions

Start by downloading the pot of gold & rainbow template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this St. Patrick’s Day scene to life!

Let your kiddo take charge by gluing the grass to the bottom of the blue paper.

Place the pot of gold somewhere on the grass and help them glue it in place.

Have your kids punch out or cut out gold coins from the yellow and gold glitter paper. Encourage your little one to take the gold coins and glue them all along the top of the pot of gold.

Show your child how to stretch a glue dot along the paper, then guide them to stick the rainbow-colored pipe cleaners to it. You can also use liquid glue to glue the pipe cleaners in place.

Use scissors to trim the pipe cleaners that go off the paper. Take some cotton balls and glue them to cover the part you cut off.

Place some glue on the opposite side of the rainbow and guide your child to glue some cotton balls onto it to look like clouds.
