This weekend is sure to be a green one with tons of St. Patrick's day parades, parties, and feasts taking place. How do you plan on celebrating? If you're looking for ways to get the family into the holiday spirit, here are some eco-friendly St. Patrick's Day crafts for kids that can help you celebrate while recycling household items in a creative way:

St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun: 
This lucky leprechaun can be made from an oatmeal box, pringles tube, or paper towel tube.

3 Leaf or 4 Leaf Tissue Paper Clover:
This clover is a great way to reuse all of the green tissue paper you have left over from Christmas! For instructions and a list of supplies, click here.

Cup Style Leprechaun Hat:
This holiday hat can be made from a toilet paper roll or cup such as a large yogurt container. Cut out the bottom of your cup, cover the outside with yarn until it is covered, use felt or a plate for the brim of your hat, and then fill it or leave it as is. 

Egg Carton Clover:
Empty egg cartons make for all kinds of eco-friendly arts and crafts activities. For St. Patrick's Day, cut and paste different pieces together, paint them green, and add a popsicle stick for your stem!
