If your kid’s school is planning on having a St. Patrick’s Day Party or if you just want to make something fun with the kiddos, this activity is sure to bring giggles and smiles! Super easy to make and super yummy to eat! 


You will need:

  • Green Jello Snack Packs
  • Green Card Stock
  • Black Felt
  • Metallic Gold Pipe Cleaners
  • Felt Shamrock Stickers
  • Hot Glue/Hot Glue Gun
  • Small 4″ Bowl
  • Pen/Pencil
  • Scissors

Directions: 

  1. Trace your bowl onto your green card stock and cut out with scissors.
  2. Trace a 1″ circle onto the center of your green circle, cut a line to the middle circle (from the outside, to the center), and cut the middle circle out.
  3. Turn your green Snack Pack upside down, wrap a green circle around the bottom, and secure with glue just above the lip of the cup.
  4. Cut a 1/2″ wide piece of felt, wrap it around the bottom of your snack pack right above the green bottom, and secure with glue.
  5. Cut your pipe cleaner into 2.5″ piece and form each piece into a square, and carefully glue it on top of the black felt to create the buckle of the hat.
  6. Hot glue a shamrock sticker onto the front side of the hat to complete your Leprechaun hats.
