Shamrocks

Your whole class can contribute to the class collage which makes for a great team-building SEL activity.
Rainbow Slime
And of course, no St. Patrick’s Day craft list would be complete without some rainbow slime! This is one that the kids will love playing with long after March 17th has passed; make sure you stock up on borax and contact lens solution to get the slime just right. This is a great way to pull in science and states of matter for your kindergarten students. I just love cross-curricular content! You can give different table groups their own color a make a class rainbow at the end.
Rainbow Chalk
I get it. Slime is way too involved… so here is an easier activity and you can get your students outside if the weather is nice. Just add chalk!
