We love going to our nearby St. Patricks Day parade. And every year I get better at remembering to dress us in green, and make something crafty for more festive fun.
This year I made little leprechaun hats for the kid. Of course older son is at that age where he doesnt want to wear these types of hats anymore, but he was all about collecting beads thrown on the parade route!
The green construction paper was salvaged from younger sons school calendar amd christmas work. The teacher has them glue art to a piece of construction paper so it looks like a border or a frame. I take a pic of all his work (as in the previous post) and then salvage these large pieces for our crafts.

Wrapped the top in paper. Added the strip for the hat "belt." Then staples the string to the hat interior and a hole on the other side of the hat. Fed the string thru the hole so the kids could adjust their hats in their heads. Once adjusted I made a know so the hats wouldn't fall off.

Our kids made off with a bounty of candy, we can fill our candy jar 2x over!

The whole parade takes about one and a half hours to pass. And clears out even quicker when its over.
