Leprechaun Craft

Are you looking for an easy, simple and cute leprechaun craft to make with your littles? 

This easy paper plate leprechaun craft was so much fun to put together. 

I used one of our free leprechaun printable sheets as a template to create the leprechaun. 

My LO then went in and glued the pieces together and made her very own DIY leprechaun craft using glue, pom poms and a little smiling face.

How to Make a Leprechaun

I printed out the leprechaun template and cut out the hat and beard. 

Then, I used these pieces to trace on a green, orange, yellow and black set of construction paper sheets. 

I set the paper plate, the construction paper pieces and elmers glue on our small table for creating our leprechaun craft. 

My LO added the pieces onto the back of a paper plate by using the Elmer’s glue. 

At the very end, she drew a simple face (or you can cut out round circles for eyes and a mouth piece with the construction paper for gluing). 

Then, we decided to add orange pom poms on the beard. 

We used a bit of Elmers glue and scotch tape for this. 

Scotch tape is not necessary and Elmer’s glue will work just fine on its own. 

Voila! Here is a fun set of leprechaun crafts you can try out with preschoolers or homeschoolers for learning about the St. Patricks Day holiday!
