Fingerprint Pot of gold
This is a fun St. Patricks Day activity that parents can also treasure because it uses the child's fingerprint. First I read a book to the kids about finding a pot of gold and what it meant about finding a pot of gold. To get things ready, you just need to get all the colors you want to use. Put all the colors on a paper plate. Call each child over one at a time and have them dip their thumb in the paint and make a rainbow to go to their pot of gold. I just drew a pot of gold out of black paper and then use gold glitter. I put this on heavy card stock paper so that parents could keep this as a keepsake. You could even add a title to it and print it if you needed.
Supplies:
Red Paint
Orange Paint
Yellow Paint
Green Paint
Blue Paint
Purple Paint
Card Stock
Gold Glitter
Black Paper
The kids loved this activity because it got their fingers messy and parents loved it because it captured their fingerprints.
