The free membership printable this week is a shamrock shape match. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out and laminated them for durability.

There are ten different shapes and the shape cards come with and without shape names. For each card there six loose shape pieces. All patterns come in black and white as well as color.

In this activity children pick a shape card and put the matching shape pieces on top of the shamrock. You can put as many or as few shape cards out for the children to match. We mix the loose shape pieces so it is more of a challenge for the children to find the correct shape.

You can download the patterns below until Monday March 20th. After that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added:

This is one of our favorite shamrock projects to make! I printed the shamrock pattern on cardstock paper and traced around it on a piece of green cardstock paper. After the shamrock was cut out the children applied glue drops and pressed sequins on the glue. For easier use of the glue I put glue into small cups and children dip a q-tip in and then dot the glue onto the shamrock.

I made a shamrock tiny dot pattern to help work on fine motor skills. The children really loved this activity!! We did the pattern with the word tracing on it but I also made the pattern without.

I printed the pattern on cardstock paper but you can also use regular paper.  I put a little bit of green paint in a small container and set out q-tips.  I used the name brand instead of a generic one as I felt they were more sturdy.

Children dipped the q-tip in green paint and then pressed it inside the blank circles.  If you did not want to use q-tips you can also use the bottom of a paint brush or pencil to dip in the paint.  The patterns can also be filled in with markers or colored pencils.

We sprinkled gold glitter on the shamrock while the paint was still wet to give it some extra sparkle.

I made Tooth Fairy shape dots that are great for fine motor development. You can print then on cardstock paper or regular paper and both black and white as well as color patterns are included.

A variety of materials can be used with the shape dots. One of the things we use is pony beads which fit into the blank dots perfectly. We do laminate the patterns when we use pony beads so that the patterns can be used over and over.

We also use glue and sequins on the patterns. I put glue into a small plastic container and then the children dip q-tips into the container and dab glue on the blank circles. They then press sequins on the glue dots.

Children can also color or paint the dots in. We like to use washable paint with q-tips that the children dip in and then paint the dots with.
