St. Patrick's Day Craft and Activity

I could have sworn I got this idea from another source, but couldn't find anything like it in an online search. Since that is the case, you are welcome to use this idea, but if you do please remember to link back to my site. Thank you. All the material on this blog is copyrighted.

I free hand drew three leaf clovers onto a piece of green construction paper. I made enough to fill the page, but for the last line of clovers, I made four leaf clovers.

I copied the drawing onto 2 other sheets of construction paper. I helped my children cut the 3 and 4 leaf clovers.

We mixed them all up. The kids threw them onto the floor so that none of the clovers were overlapping.

The kids searched for the four leaf clovers.

All the children got a small chocolate bar for finding at least one four-leaf clover.


This is one of the lines of three leaf clovers I drew by hand. 

Can you find the four leaf clover?

Right there.

The kids said they really like this game and they want to play it again on St. Patrick's Day.
