Shamrock Salt Painting For Kids
"Have you ever tried doing salt painting? This Shamrock Salt Painting for kids is a great place to start! Between this fun Shamrock art and my Papercraft Leprechaun Gnome, we are all set for St. Patrick’s Day. My kids love to see how the colors pop on top of the salt. And I love it too because it is the type of craft that will look good no matter what happens. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have the hardest time thinking of how to change up the kid’s everyday crafts. Your kids are going to love salt painting! The salt adds such a fun texture and makes the painting unique and a little bit more exciting!"
