Children will create a little girl dressed as a leprechaun, complete with pom pom buttons. This fun and easy paper craft is ideal for 1st through 3rd graders ages 6 to 9. If they're in preschool and kindergarten, they could make it with a little adult help, or even use our black and white version, which they can color. Prep is simple, and the project fits nicely into a 10 to 12 minute window if you pre-cut the pieces or about 15 to 20 minutes when kids cut and assemble everything themselves." player-type="default" override-embed="default"]
