Allison McDonald has been teaching young children in various capacities since 1993. She started as a day camp leader in high school, taught various preschool programs at community centers through university, worked as a tutor while pursuing a second degree in elementary education, and most recently worked as a director and preschool teacher before becoming a full time mom. Now that she is at home she keeps one foot in education while sharing that side of her life with her son and the results have been amazing.

Soft Collage Shamrock

St. Patrick's Day-3

St. Patrick's Day is on the way and here is our lucky craft! I love making collages
because they offer wide boundaries. They can be a small easy craft or, for older children,
can go on and on with layers of materials and textures.

1. Gather your materials. You will need some cardboard (cereal boxes are the perfect weight), a marker, green paint or crayons, glue, and a variety of green collage material. I am using pompoms, tissue paper and felt.

2. Draw a shamrock on the cereal box.

3. Have children paint or color the shamrock.

4. While they are painting take a second to cut the tissue paper and felt into small pieces.

5. When the shamrock is dry, add the glue.
