Shamrocks
Madison Children's Museum 100 N. Hamilton St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Calling all “little plants.” Create your own water color shamrock in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
The word “shamrock” is used to describe many species of clover or three-leaved plants, and derives from the diminutive form of the Irish word “seamair” which means “plant.” Today it is a common symbol for Ireland, people of Irish decent, and St. Patrick’s Day.
As we create our own shamrocks, we will learn about clover, and use our creativity and fine motor skills.
