    This pot of gold craft for kids makes a great St. Patrick’s Day craft for preschoolers. They’ll just need a little adult help with the hot glue of course, but gluing tissue paper squares is perfect for little fingers. Of course, you can always use it as a rainbow craft for any time of the year.

    Pot of Gold Craft for Kids

    You will need
    Clean, dry K-Cups
    Black paint
    White construction paper
    School glue
    Hot glue
    Red, yellow, blue, and green tissue paper
    Scissors
    Paintbrush

    Instructions

    Remove all foil and paper lining from the K-Cups. The filters are easy to take out. Just pinch and pull after removing grounds. Rinse and dry.

    Cut out rainbow shapes from white construction paper. I used a mason jar to trace one side and then it was easier to freehand the other side. Cut out and set aside.

    Crumple up several squares of tissue paper in each color, or just tear off small pieces. I made my own squares using a paper cutter.

    Spread school glue all over the Rainbow shape, then press the tissue paper down in rows and allow it to dry.
