St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be complete with out some shamrocks (or potatoes for that matter).
Supplies:
- potato
- small heart cookie cutter
- knife
- green paint
- paper for stamping
Cut about 1/4 off the length of the potato. Then insert the heart cookie cutter as deep as it will go. Use your knife to cut cleanly around the heart shape.
Dip your stamp in some green paint and you are in the shamrock business! Three hearts make a shamrock. Add a stem using a paint brush.
Learn about how St. Patrick used shamrocks to teach about the Holy Trinity in this post.

For many centuries now, the potato has been nominated in its supporting role shared with the spotlight on the main bird, the turkey, celebrated during Thanksgiving meals everywhere around the world. This is a befitting ode to the lowly, humble potato.
