If you’re looking for a fun gift idea to hand out to your children’s teachers or maybe a fun little gift for your child to give to a few friends for St Patrick’s Day, then this is the perfect idea for you -a St Patrick’s Day Watercolor Gift! It’s so simple & easy that your child can make it with you!
It’s very affordable, too, as you can find the kids watercolor sets at the dollar store or around $1 at many stores. I had to resort to buying a Crayola set at Target as the Up & Up brand was wiped out after a mobile coupon made them only $.08 last week. The Crayola watercolor set was $1.99, plus a bag of candies.
We’ve now updated this to include a FREE St Patrick’s Day printable tag as well that says “You are the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow”- so that this will literally just take you five minutes to put together once you have your supplies. This is a very versatile tag as you can not only use this with this St Patty’s Day Watercolor gift, but you could also attach it to green lollipops, a bag of chocolate gold coins, a bag of rainbow licorice & some Rolos & more! {Don’t forget that Winco has some great options for bulk candy – I found the chocolate gold coins there around Valentine’s Day}
St Patricks Day Watercolor Gift:
Items Needed:
Watercolor Paint Set (find these at the Dollar store, Target Up & Up brand for $1 & more)
Candy of your choice – Rolos, Chocolate Gold Coins, Hershey’s kiss, Reese’s peanut butter cup, Hershey’s Nuggets (shaped like little treasure boxes)- whatever you think the recipient would enjoy the most. Just make sure your candies are individually wrapped (I made that mistake by buying a roll of Rolos at first)
Cardstock for your printable St Patrick’s Day tag
Adhesive for attaching everything (tape, glue dots, glue, etc) – I just used regular tape
Directions:
Print off the FREE St Patrick’s Day printable “You are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” gift tag – cut on the dotted lines to make it into a flag shape
Take out the inside label for the watercolor set (this is just preference, but I thought it made it look cleaner with just the white background)
Attach a Rolo, chocolate gold coin (or candy of your choice) to the tag – you could use a glue dot or regular glue/tape or a piece of scrapbook adhesive, or double-sided tape
Attach the tag with candy to the paint set using double-sided tape or a glue-dot.
See how simple that is! Perfect little gift to give or for you to make for your kiddos to give them on St Patrick’s Day!
