For our craft we tore orange strips of paper and put them in an icing bag then tied that off with green ribbon to make a carrot

Extra activities:

We sang and danced the Hokey Pokey with different colored shapes
You put your green shamrock in, you take your green shamrock out
you put your green shamrock in, and you shake it all about
you do the color Polka and then turn yourself around
that's what it's all about (then we threw our green shamrocks in the air)
(we repeated with red apple, orange pumpkin, blue snowflake and yellow chick)

Sensory activity:

Children were given a zip lock bag with ketchup and mustard in it. They were encouraged to mush the bag around to see what color they would get by mixing the red ketchup and the yellow mustard together
