This craft is easy to make and requires only a few simple materials. Plus, at the end, your kids will have a fun and festive decoration that they can keep or give away as a gift.
Materials Needed:
Paper Cups Paint Paintbrushes Construction Paper Scissors White Glue Gold-covered Chocolate Coins
Instructions:
- Start by painting your paper cup black. You can use any type of paint, but acrylic or tempera paint will work best. Make sure to cover the entire cup evenly, and let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
- While the cup is drying, cut out a yellow circle from construction paper. This will be the “gold” that goes on top of the pot. You can trace a circle using a round object, or simply freehand it.
- Once the cup is dry, glue the yellow circle onto the top of the cup. Make sure it’s centered and secure.
- Now it’s time to fill the pot with “gold”! You can use gold-covered chocolate coins, or any other small treats that are gold or yellow in color. Fill the cup up to the top, making sure the treats are evenly distributed.
- Optional: You can also decorate the outside of the cup with shamrock stickers, glitter, or other festive decorations.
And there you have it – a simple and fun Pot of Gold craft for St. Patrick’s Day! Your kids will love making these and filling them with treats. You can even use them as party favors or decorations for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
