Hi friends,
We’re bringing you a little green with our fun, textured, Leafy, Lucky Leprechaun, made with leaves and pipe cleaners. Use the supplies we did or go out to your yard/nearby park, like we did for the Earth Day activity, and leaves and other natural materials to complete this. Check it out below.

What You'll Need
Leprechaun Sheet
Artificial Leaves
Scissors
Color Pencils/Crayons
Pipe Cleaners
Glue
Optional: Yarn, Hot Glue, Natural Materials
The Steps
It’s been so nice and beautiful here in California, we couldn’t help but tap into that. This activity could be colored in if you prefer to keep it simple.
You may start with the coloring first or the gluing, we started on the leaves first.
PREP
Cut your artificial greenery/leaves or use natural items.
Use glue to add your greenery to the hat.
COLOR
Color the band, buckle, clover, hat rim, and face.
If you’d like to add material to your beard, skip coloring that part. Move on to step 4.
BEARD
Cut your pipe cleaners, yarn, or other material to glue to the beard. Hot glue worked the best here.
Color the clovers at the bottom of the page and/or glue leaves there too.
That’s it!
Naomi colored the ears and nose the same color as the face- not visible online. She filled in the gaps at the top of the hat with lime color pencil and colored in the beard.
I added all leaves to the hat, a few at the bottom, and filled in the beard with orange pipe cleaners and mustard yellow yarn. I also darkened the nose and ears.
I can’t beleaf how cute these came out = )
Happy crafting,
Amanda and Naomi
