REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

Take a potato and cut it in half. Set one half aside.
Take a utility knife and cut a triangle out of the top of one of the halves. You want to cut about a quarter of an inch down.
Round off the top of the triangle to create a heart shape. You want to cut a large heart into your potato.
Paint the heart green.
Turn your stamp over and press it onto the paper. This will create one leaf of your shamrock.
Turn it to the left and stamp down again to create a second leaf.
Turn it and stamp down again to create the third leaf.
Take your paintbrush, and with green paint, paint on a stem.
Keep creating more shamrocks on the paper to create wrapping paper. You can also use this stamp to make a St. Patty’s Day card.
