Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
Every year, more than 250,000 New Yorkers take over 5th Avenue for St. Patrick’s Day parade while millions of others celebrate in schools, homes and pubs. Celebration comes with fancy green clothes, hats, various spring symbols such as the clover and ends with partying and beer.
For St. Pat’s celebration we found a more sedate idea – a Royal Brites® Project Board related one, easy to use. Royal Brites® Project Boards are great, especially for kids, as they combine visuals with written pieces like poems, jokes or family slogans. Royal Brites® Tri Fold Project Board with gridlines is helpful in better positioning elements on the work area.
Here are a few steps that your child or student should keep in mind

Shamrock Doilies Royal Lace Let’s make a family tree! First, think of one fun idea. Maybe your family is from Ireland! Or maybe you want to share funny facts to make people smile. Pick your favorite idea and start your tree. It will be so much fun!
- To celebrate the family heritage, start with visuals. Make a family tree using green and tan Poster Board. Having a graphic display will make it easy for children to understand their roots and how they fit into the great picture.
They usually have great fun cutting and gluing pieces to put the tree together. A combination of colors such as Green and Neon Green Poster Board will make it stand out. Use iClicknPrint to create leaves with clip art and add them on the tree branches and write names of the family members directly on them using a thick marker or cut out prints of family members’ names that are glued to the leaves. - To capture attention, share new, funny or less known information. You can write these directly on the Project Board or print them on smaller pieces of Poster Board see printable EZ Print Board 8.5” x14” and then glue them on. Choose a mix of paper colors to print on: green goes great with yellow, orange and even light blue or purple. Check out the great color selections TheRoyalStore website offers.
