10 easy (and relatively mess-free) St. Patricks’s Day crafts for kids

It's almost here!

And yes, the parade is finally back this year, but if you are anything like me and think the idea of town with kids in town sounds all sorts of stressful, well, then there is nothing wrong with celebrating St. Patrick's Day at home instead. Nothing at all. And as March 17th isn't that far away now, what better way to fill these chilly and wet afternoons than making some adorable St. Patrick's Day inspired arts and crafts. These super-easy projects will look adorable on display – and, most importantly, keep the kids entertained and in crafting bliss. Rainbows, leprechauns and shamrocks, here we come! 1.
