Cotton Ball Painted 4-Leaf Clover
We started off our St. Patrick’s Day celebration with our St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bin and man, IT WAS A HIT! After our activity, I wanted to plan a fun craft that both my 1 and 4 year old would enjoy. Cotton ball painting was so much fun and honestly, there was almost no mess!

I’m always trying to increase the little’s vocabulary. We used words like dab, dot, blot, smear and mix. Mr 1 had a clothes pin in each hand and kept repeating “one, two, one two.”
Can we talk about how much I love our Flisat table? We use it for everything and so far, it has taken a beating without getting any stains! AND it’s the perfect height for littles!
Once your done painting, let them dry. You may want to decorate it more or hang it as is. We cut ours out to use for our St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt. You have to check out our scavenger hunt! It was a blast!
I cut out 4 hearts for one of the 4-leaf clovers to POP. I folded the hearts in half and glued the crease onto the clover. When the glue dried, I folded up the hearts. I think it turned out pretty cute!
We’ve been really enjoying St. Patrick’s Day activities and crafts. I just love how these clovers look! The kids were so excited to hang them up and show them off.
