A gratitude tree is the perfect way to express what you are thankful for. Have the kids help by cutting out the leaves. You can either use a picture of a tree like shown below or use some branches and make a small tree with them.
It’s hard to argue that the best summertime treat is an ice cold popsicle. When the mercury rises, people flock to the nearest ice cream trucks to treat themselves to this summer staple. Even though ice pops are a sweet treat, the store-bought varieties can be full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors. Instead, try celebrity chefs Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos’ Tofu and Berry Popsicles for a refreshing and delicious dessert!

Moms need their craft time, too! The drawing above is one done using a compass, Shamrock Template and a round earring used to draw the scallops. The Shamrock was colored with watercolor pencils and markers. The designs are called Zentangle patterns. Zentagle-inspired art has been an obsession of mine for a while now! You can learn more about this fun and meditative art form at Zentangle.com. This is fun to do with your kids. Kids adore creating patterns. At TanglePatterns.com you will find enough patterns to keep you and your kids happy for months!
Here’s a round-up of other shamrock kids crafts I found online.
