Shamrock/Clover Paper Plate Hat



Project: Use a paper plate to make a four leaf clover hat and have the kids color it green

Participants: Ash, Lavender, Peony, Viola

Difficulty: Easy - the kids just color, and the grown up has minor scissor work
Prep: Should take five minutes. Don't be me - use the paper plates you can fold in half easily. I got the heavy duty ones because they have pretty flowers on the edge... meaning I couldn't fold it. So first thing in the morning before the kids arrived, with half a cup of coffee in my system, I cut out six paper plates the hard way. When I passed them out, I realized I only needed four. In my defense: half a cup of coffee.
Mess: Virtually none
Cleanup: Virtually none
Age Range: Anyone who can handle a crayon, marker, or colored pencil

Verdict: We'll do this again. It's an easy way to celebrate a holiday - and the kids like wearing hats!
