How to Make Dot Marker Leprechaun: Pre-Writing Activity

Grab your supplies.
On a large sheet of paper draw a circle. Cut out a green leprechaun hat from green construction paper, a black band and a buckle from the gold foam paper or yellow construction paper.
Glue the hat to the top of the circle.
You can draw a face or let your little one draw the face themselves.
Use the orange dot marker and make dot coming from the the circle in the directions of how a beard would fall.
Invite your little one to draw around the dots to draw the beard of the leprechaun. I would do the first obstacle writing them so that they understand what they are to do.

Age Suitability

This activity is good for kids 2.5 years and up. My kids are 3.5, 3.5, and 7 year old.
