· Shamrock Wands
Materials:
green construction paper
scissors
glue
stapler
gold glitter
green straw
thin ribbon in both green and gold
heart form to trace

Cut three heart shapes from the green paper and glue the tips of the three
shapes together to form a shamrock.  Decorate the shamrock with glue and gold
glitter.  Staple the center of the shamrock to the end of the straw to make a
handle.  Cut three or more 3-foot ribbons. Hold the ribbons together and
staple them to the back of the shamrock at the center so that the ends hang
down from the shamrock wand.  Cut several tiny shamrocks and staple them
along the ribbons. Maybe your magic wand will help you catch a leprechaun!!
