Who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day? The green, the rainbows… the GOLD. 🙂 This year in conjunction with our Noah and the Ark unit we are learning about rainbows and tying in St. Patrick’s Day.
First begin by cutting colored construction paper into rainbow colored strips. The longer the strips the higher the hat will be, so this is just an example of size:
red - 12 inches, orange -11.5 inches, yellow- 11 inches, green- 10.5 inches, blue- 10 inches and purple 9.5 inches. (I actually did a little bit smaller than this for mine, but use any length in increments of a half an inch.
Have the students put them in rainbow order.
Staple each side together to get a rainbow.
Attach the rainbow to a paper hat, then glue on “clouds” aka cotton balls. Super cute!
It’s not too late to throw these together for St. Patrick’s Day on Monday. Happy crafting!
I used both of my kids prints and their hands are different sizes. I love using the “heart” type of overlapped hands to make each shamrock leaf. Super cute,

As long as you have access to a sewing machine and can sew a straight line, you can make one for yourself too! 
Although it’s not overtly St Patrick’s Day colors, it was inspired by the holiday. I have a feeling it will make it’s way back to my front door in May/June after my Spring one comes down. I really does look “every day”. 
I’ll be posting pics and tutorials over the next 2ish {don’t think that’s a word, oh well} weeks on how I made each thing! So excited to share with you. I hope you think it’s as adorable as I do! If you want to know why I’m not lucky check back. I’ll explain it, or better yet, follow along via Facebook or e-mail. 🙂 Now to keep my plants alive for an entire month!
