Toddler St. Patrick’s Day Crafts

I love doing holiday theme crafts for my son as often as possible. Not only does it shake things up from the normal play-doh and trains playtime activities, but most of the time, the activities are easy to gather supplies for and get started on the spur of the moment!

I like to think this makes me seem like a cool mom who has it all together… or something like that. Ha!

But whether or not my son think that I’m on top of things, we always have fun! And these St. Patrick’s Day crafts are no exception! Many of them can be made with supplies you likely already have on hand.

There are coloring activities, painting crafts, and even several sensory experiences – all under the St. Patrick’s Day theme!

When you find something you love on this list, just click the photo to view the full craft! Enjoy!

A wonderful sensory craft for toddlers, this rainbow has lines drawn on the paper so it’s super easy for them to follow!

It’s also a wonderful sorting task to help with early math skills – let them sort the cereal into color piles before gluing them down. And if they eat a few pieces of cereal, no big deal!

This is a great craft that doesn’t require the child to be able to form an arc for the rainbow. Just pain the whole plate in rings, then cut it in half!

Not only will your kids be able to work on rainbow color order and pencil grip while holding the paint brush, but they can try some basic scissor skills as they cut across the paper plate!

Why not work on some fine motor skills while you’re celebrating? This rainbow craft will help them work on their fine motor skills by having them place pipe cleaners into a pre-made hole.

You could also do this with some cardboard. Just pull the pipe cleaner through a little more when they are done placing it and make a little knot to hold it in its hole!
