Here is a great one to do with the kids for St. Patty's Day. The shamrock, a three-leafed clover, is the symbol of Ireland. Originally used by native Celtic people as medicine, it was also believed to be good luck. It is now a point of pride for Irish people, and a symbol of Saint Patrick's Day. This March, try decorating your home with these scented shamrocks--sure to fill your home with Irish spirit. What You Need: Scissors Glue Construction paper Paintbrush 1 box green Jell-O mix Empty saltshaker or spice container Paintbrush Hole punch and ribbon or string (optional) What You Do: Cut a shamrock shape from the construction paper. Have your child paint glue all over the cutout. Pour the Jell-O mix into the shaker and sprinkle the powder on the glue. Shake off any excess powder and let the glue dry. Use the shamrock as a gretting card, or punch a hole in its top, loop ribbon or string through the hole, and hang it from a doorknob or picture hook. Enjoy everybody!
