Kids will love this fun little St. Patrick’s Day mobile hanging from their ceiling. The printable template helps keep the project manageable. 

Pot of Gold Craft

Everybody knows that there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and it belongs to a leprechaun. While chasing the end of an actual rainbow is impossible, this one is easy to find, especially with the printable template that’s included.

Pot of Gold Paper Plate Lacing Craft

This is a really cute rainbow craft that kids will love making almost as much as they will love hanging it up to display. Adults can cut out the shape from the paper plate, and kids can thread the yarn rainbow with the pony bead gold pieces.

Rainbow Pot of Gold Chain

Here’s a different take on the standard rainbow. It’s a colorful paper chain that ends in a pot of gold.

Heart Rainbow Craft

Another unique take on the rainbow comes in the form of hearts. It’s a nice metaphor for what real riches are, and a great physical example to use for kids.

I Am Lucky Because…Headband

This printable St. Patrick’s Day craft is a fun headband that encourages kids to consider the blessings in their lives. Plus, it comes in pre-colored or black and white versions, so kids can choose if they want to color it themselves.

Colorful Paper Plate Rainbow Craft

Paper plate rainbow crafts are always a big hit, since they are so simple to make. This one takes things a step further, with fluffy clouds and a pot of gold at either end.

Easy Rainbow Paper Plate Cotton Ball Craft

Here’s another fun spin on the paper plate rainbow craft. This time, the plate itself is a cute cloud, and the rainbow extends from it.

St. Patrick’s Day Paper Plate Twirler

Paper plate spinners (or whirlygigs) are a fun, easy craft that will hold kids’ attention for sure. Color a pretty rainbow pattern on a plate, then cut it into the spinner shape. And don’t forget to accent it with lots of shamrocks.

Paper Plate Tambourine

Load up on plastic gold coins and paper plates for this next St. Patrick’s Day craft. It offers up not one, but two designs for St. Patrick’s Day tambourines.

This St. Patrick’s Day rainbow is the perfect craft idea for toddlers or preschoolers. Print the template out, then let the kids help tear paper squares in all the colors of the rainbow before they glue them to the template.

Craft Sticks Rainbow

Here’s a fun rainbow craft idea that littles will love. Use colored craft sticks, or they can color their own to make this cute, simple rainbow.

Name-On-A-Rainbow Spelling Activity

Confetti Rainbow Picture

Kids will be itching to help prep this craft, and parents will most likely be happy to let them. Make a bunch of colored confetti using colored paper and a hole punch, then use that confetti to make a lively rainbow.
