Creating the Shamrock Man

1. Start with the green construction paper. Use the shamrock template to cut a shamrock shape from the paper. Additionally, cut 4 small circles from the green paper.

2. Next, cut two short and two long strips from the white construction paper. Fold each of the strips accordion-style.

3. Glue the strips to the shamrock shape - the short strips to the sides and the long strips to the bottom, gluing a green circle to the end of each strip to create 'hands' and 'feet'.

4. Finally, use the marker to draw a face on the shamrock cutout.

Because this craft requires few materials, the project can be pulled off in a pinch, making it great for those times when your students finish early or when you want to add something fun to your lesson plans on short notice!
