St. Patrick's Day: Shamrock Necklace

Have the luck of Irish with you all day long with these fun, easy shamrock necklaces!

What You’ll Need:
*Shamrock template (one per child)
*Yarn
*Scissors
*Crayons/markers -- green
*Hole punch or sharp pencil
*Ziti-type pasta (7 per child)

Preparation:
Print out one template (either MS Word or PDF) per child. We recommend cutting out the shamrocks first. This makes it easier to color both sides.

Activity:
*Give each child 6 shamrocks (one template sheet). Have them color both sides.
*Punch a hole in the center of the shamrock with hole punch or sharp pencil.
*String shamrock and pasta onto yarn. Start with pasta, then one shamrock, and alternate, ending with pasta.
*Tie ends of yarn together.
*Send us a photo of your lucky children and their necklaces and we may post it on our site! info@mycalendarmaker.com.
