How to make a St Patrick's day crown

First, download your printable PDF file from lower down in the post. Print one page for each child making the craft. There are four pages in the PDF file - two in color and two in black and white.

Here's a look at all four pages:

Four St Patrick’s Day crown craft printables featuring various themed designs, including leprechaun hats and shamrock patterns, suitable for kids' DIY activities.

Color the crown pieces and bands before cutting, if you're using a coloring page version. Toddlers may only need the center portion of the crown and one extra band.

Older children will need a bit of a second extra band piece if they want the crown to sit across their foreheads instead of "perching" on top.

Cut out the center crown portion and bands. Don't worry about fussy cutting around ever edge on the central portion - just cut around it, as shown below.
