What to do: Step One: Have your child place her hand flat on a sheet of construction paper. Step Two: Trace her hand using the pencil. Step Three: Repeat this three more times, so that you have four hand patterns. Step Four: Help your child cut out each of her hand patterns. Step Five: Cut out a rectangle from the construction paper for your shamrock’s stem. Help your child write her name or a short message on the stem. Step Six: Arrange the handprints so they meet in the center. Space them out so that they look like leaves. Step Seven: Once you have the “shamrock leaves” in place, glue them together. Step Eight: Let the glue dry. Step Nine: Now, glue the stem to the bottom of your shamrock leaves. Step Ten: Now you can make a wish on your four-leaf-clover!
