Make a Scented Shamrock

The shamrock, a three-leafed clover, is the symbol of Ireland. Originally used by native Celtic people as medicine, it was also believed to be good luck. It is now a point of pride for Irish people, and a symbol of Saint Patrick's Day. This March, try decorating your home with these scented shamrocks--sure to fill your home with Irish spirit.

What You Need:

• Scissors
• Glue
• Construction paper
• Paintbrush
• 1 box green Jell-O mix
• Empty saltshaker or spice container
• Paintbrush
• Hole punch and ribbon or string (optional)

What You Do:

1. Cut a shamrock shape from the construction paper. Have your child paint glue all over the cutout.
2. Pour the Jell-O mix into the shaker and sprinkle the powder on the glue. Shake off any excess powder and let the glue dry.
3. Use the shamrock as a gretting card, or punch a hole in its top, loop ribbon or string through the hole, and hang it from a doorknob or picture hook.
