How To Make A Rainbow Jar for St Patrick's Day

Looking for a fun and festive activity to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the kids? Why not try your hand at creating a colourful rainbow and pot of gold craft? It's a classic symbol of the holiday that will bring a smile to everyone's face!

What You'll Need:

To get started, gather up the following supplies:

• Construction paper in various colours of the rainbow
• A small jar or container
• Your choice of treasure 
• Scissors
• Glue
• Markers or crayons to decorate 

Creating the Rainbow:

First things first, let's tackle the rainbow! Cut out strips of construction paper in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Arrange them in a semi-circle to create the iconic rainbow shape. You could use plain paper and colour them in.

Glue the strips together by giving them a slight overlap or glue them down to another piece of card to give it structure. 

Filling the Pot of Gold:

Next, take your jar or container and fill it with the gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins. This is where the magic happens - the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Feel free to add some extra flair by decorating the pot with markers or stickers.

Putting It All Together:

Now comes the fun part - bringing the rainbow and pot of gold together! Glue the rainbow onto the back of the pot of gold to create a whimsical scene that captures the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. You can even add a little leprechaun figurine for an extra touch of magic!

And there you have it - a delightful DIY craft that will brighten up your St. Patrick's Day celebrations. It's a great way to get the kids involved and add a touch of whimsy to your holiday decor. So grab your supplies, get crafting, and enjoy the luck of the Irish!
