A Saint Patrick’s Day Craft

Now that Valentine’s Day is over, it’s time to start thinking about the next fun holiday, Saint Patrick’s Day.  There’s just something simple and playful about this day.  I love that no gifts or cards are exchanged, and it’s really just about having some fun.  Since I love color, Saint Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to throw in some rainbow crafts and decorations.

I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Astrobrights®Papers again this year as a Bright Mind ambassador, so I wanted to share this fun writing craft that you can have your students make using paper from Astrobrights.

I started by giving each student a pot shape from Astrobrights Eclipse Black™ and a clover printed on Martian Green™ paper.  (You can download the clover HERE.)

Then, I gave each student a strip of Re-Entry Red™, Orbit Orange™, Solar Yellow™, Gamma Green™, Celestial Blue®, and Gravity Grape™.  The students wrote a sentence on each strip with a reason why they felt lucky.

Next, I taped each strip to a black string and attached it to the pots.

I hung these from the ceiling.  This was a great way to work on writing, while making a colorful craft for March.

Do you know the Brightest Teacher?
