Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

I’ve been busy these days, my son will be starting Montessori preschool this coming September so I’ve been running around processing papers and requirements. So pardon me if I have no relevant updates at the moment.

Anyway we did some crafts today... one in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day this coming Saturday and the other one is dinosaur related, which my son still can’t get other (see our activities here and here).

Since last week, we’ve been reading books about Ireland, talk about it’s culture and the festivals they celebrated. And from here, we chose among some crafts I pinned on my Pinterest and made him choose what he wanted to do.

He wanted to make paper-plate shamrocks. Instead of using paper-plates, I decided to use an empty cardboard box.

Cut out three circles and paint them with green using sponges.

At first he wanted to use our paintbrush because he doesn’t want to stain his hands. Eventually, he realized that it was fun. (We’re using Crayola’s Washable paint)

We added glitters.

And glued them together. Sorry the the glitters weren’t visible enough.

This is what we ended up later on. We made several of these and placed them around the house.

This was just a simple craft, tomorrow we’ll do another one... hope it will be more interesting though LOL.

We’ll be heading out to the city center this weekend to enjoy the fun and celebration. Hope I can get some decent photos to share :) Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
