I know it's a little late for shamrocks but it's been a hectic week and these turned out so cute I decided to share them anyway.
Print two copies of the shamrocks on cardstock paper and then cut out and laminate them.
In this activity children find the same color shamrocks and clip them together with clothespins or paperclips. Play continues until all colors have been matched. You can download the shamrocks below:

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. The pattern comes in a variety of options and is from my fine motor tiny dots download.

The free membership printable this week is Learning Friends Number Sliders for number recognition and fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.
Using and x-acto knife I sliced along the two lines on the learning friend card. Taking one of the number strips I pushed the left end up through the right slice and pulled it down through the left slice.
In this activity children pull the number strips through the learning friends and read the number that is displayed in the center of the learning friend. Once all numbers have been identified on the strip a new strip is put in.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday March 3rd ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Learning Friends Alphabet Sliders.

The free membership printable this week is hot chocolate puzzles for color recognition and visual discrimination. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.
I then cut along the lines on each puzzle card and mixed up the puzzles pieces. In this activity children find the matching colors or patterns and put the puzzle pieces together. I have included both two and three piece puzzles.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added hot chocolate math mats.
