Leprechaun Face With Heart Balloon and Flower Hat

A smiling face with closed eyes fills this page, framed by big curly hair and a fluffy curly beard. On top sits a rounded hat with a wide, thick brim and a single five-petal flower with a circle in the center. A heart-shaped balloon on a long straight string floats up behind the hat, with little shine marks drawn on the balloon. The ears poke out through the curls on each side, and the nose is a simple curved line. Because the St. Patrick's Day theme is easy to spot, green is the obvious pick for the hat, but you could try a pale yellow flower with a bright red or pink balloon. The curly hair and beard have lots of bumpy edges, so crayons or colored pencils work well for kids practicing small, careful strokes. This free printable is a nice quick activity for a classroom holiday table.
