This Leprechaun ornament is both simple and fun for any age. It also makes a great decoration for around the classroom or home.

Materials:

• Beige or white construction paper
• Green construction paper 
• Orange construction paper
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crayons, color pencils or markers 
• Single hole punch
• Ribbon

Directions:

1. On a beige or white piece of construction paper, draw or trace a circle. Cut circle out with scissors. This will be the Leprechaun's head. 

2. On a green piece of construction paper, draw the Leprechaun's hat. Use the circle as a guide to make sure the hat is proportional to the head (step 1). Cut out with a pair of scissors. 

3. Trace your child's hand on an orange piece of construction paper. Cut out with a pair of scissors. This will be the Leprechaun's  beard. 

4. Glue the hat to the top of the head and beard (with the fingers pointing down) to the bottom of the head. Have your child draw the Leprechaun's face on the head. 

5. With a single hole punch, make a hole in the top of the Leprechaun's hat. Loop a piece of ribbon through the hole and tie with a secure knot, both ends of the ribbon together.
