Looking for a fun St. Patrick’s day kids craft? Have the kids make these rainbow pot of gold glittery pots! With only a few supplies you can have this shamrock craft ready to go. Make sure to lay down a plastic tablecloth for easy clean-up of the glitter! I would also recommend using a foam paint brush to avoid any streaks when painting on the mod podge.

Using a foam paint brush, paint the outside of the pot and top rim with mod podge.

 Sprinkle the glitter over the entire outer portion of the pot. Shake off excess glitter. Repeat the same process with the saucer. Allow both the pot and saucer to dry completely.

Once pots have dried, add a shamrock foam sticker to the front of each pot. You can add a dab of hot glue to secure it into place better.

It may get a bit messy but at least it’s a pretty mess with all the sparkling glitter! Most every kid I know loves to work with glitter. If you would like a larger variety of St. Patrick’s day foam shapes to choose from, try these self-adhesive shapes with rainbows and cute leprechaun faces!
