Shamrock Necklace
We're sure your kid already knows that it's a common practice to wear green on March 17th. And if she enjoys wearing jewelry, a shamrock necklace is the perfect accessory to complete any St. Patrick's Day ensemble. Rather than purchase necklaces for the holiday, you and your child can make a shamrock necklace instead! Your child will be able to proudly show off her handiwork to friends and family. As an added bonus, she'll no longer have to scour her closet in search of something green year after year.
