Leprechaun Drawing Art Game
Tame those mischievous leprechauns with step by step, directed drawing activities in elementary! Use my leprechaun drawing art project for Saint Patrick’s Day to teach proportion. Imagine these Irish gnomes in your hallway alongside a writing prompt. The roll a leprechaun game makes perfect last minute emergency art sub plans, too!
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Art integration in the classroom is an effective way to reach and teach all students.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners make for an engaging St. Patrick’s Day art lesson. The included “how to draw a leprechaun” worksheet will guide their drawing. Moreover, it’ll boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan Saint Patricks Day art projects for elementary.
What’s Included
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this Where the Wild Things Are art activity. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a leprechaun game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own body parts
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly build their leprechaun and you can integrate technology
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Leprechaun Drawing worksheet, to guide your class in drawing a leprechaun using proportion and scale
- Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing visual textures
- 2 Writing prompts, so you can tie this leprechaun art project to literacy
- 2 Coloring pages of cute leprechauns that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
Ways to Use This Leprechaun Drawing Lesson in Elementary
My leprechaun art project is flexible and can be used in many ways throughout your classroom or art room and beyond. It’s great for maternity or emergency art sub plans, early finisher activities, and even for virtual art class or an after-school art club.

My students loved making their leprechauns. They were especially pleased with the choices given for the figure. The instructions and sheets for the students are top quailty. The students understood what to do and so did I . Sometimes with art, things are vague, but not with Glitters Meets Glue. I have used several of their projects. I am never dissapointed. All the projects have been headache free. The students need art at this time more than ever. Thank you for all your art projects. We all love them!

My students loved this activity. I was nervous to leave it with a sub, but the kids impressed me with their creations. I added an extention activity and had the students write a short expository paragraph about their creature. The only part I had to adjust was having the students roll twice for the feet, or replicating the mirror image of the shoe they landed on.
Angela P. –
Left it for a substitute. Worked well. I adapted it for my students that don’t ‘like’ art.
