Handprint Shamrock
Supplies:
Green paint
Paper
Black pen
Directions:
1. Print four green handprints in a circle, palms outwards and fingers
together. (for a traditional shamrock rather than a four leaf clover,
you can of course do just 3 handprints.) These are your leaves.
2. Add a line with the side of your hand for the stalk.
3. When the paint is dry, outline with black pen.
