Shamrock Rolling Pin Art Fun

Then ask your little one to roll a rolling pin over the paint.

A paper towel roll works well to move paint around too. On the shamrock below, a pattern of paint was spread vertically. Then a paper towel roll was rolled up and down to give the striped effect. There are diagonal lines left from the paper roll on the shamrock…I kind of like them!
