The following are a list of websites which I have found very useful for St. Patrick day crafts and activities for all ages.

http://www.saintpatrickce ntre.com/kids.php

This website tells the story of St. Patrick in a colourful, child-friendly manner, and contains interactive games and puzzles. There is also the option of sending a St. Patrick's Day ecard to a friend.

There is a huge variety of St. Patrick's Day crafts on this site. You could make a Leprechaun door knob hanger, a tissue box cover, a shamrock crown or napkin ring. On top of this, there are songs and colouring pages which would be suitable for a St. Patrick's Day card.

T his site features more colouring pages, and also some crafts such as a St. Patrick's Day candle craft, and shape craft.

An other very interesting site with online St. Patrick's Day jigsaws, cards and writing paper. Crafts include a St. Patrick's Day mobile, and bookmarks. The site also contains wordsearches, mazes and scrapbook paper.

Some more ideas I have used:

- Make a Claddagh ring design using foam hearts, and your child's hand prints.
- Use facepaints: Make shamrock, rainbow, pot of gold designs.
- Make a mini pot of gold, using silver, gold card for coins. Paper mache over an old pot, and paint on shamrocks.
- Use green felt, cut into a shamrock shape. Sew the shapes together to form a treat bag, cushion or pouch.
- Make potato/vegetable prints. Cut into potato in a shamrock shape. Your child can make wallpaper or wrapping paper, by printing with poster paints.
- Make a Celtic cross using lollipop sticks, and string to weave around in a cross formation.

May the luck o' the Irish be with you as you enjoy your St. Patrick's day fun!
