A Clover-Top-hat Coin Bank
By Anne Bell
Try your luck at saving with this St. Patrick's Day coin bank.
What you need:
- green poster board
- large plastic lid
- scissors
- glue
- green paper
- short cardboard tubes
- pencil
How to make it:
- On green poster board, trace around a large plastic lid. Cut out the circle.
- Glue green paper around four short cardboard tubes. Glue the tubes, standing up, in the middle of the circle. Let the glue dry.
- Turn the tubes over and use a pencil to trace around the tops of the tubes onto green poster board. Draw a four-leaf clover shape around this tracing, and cut it out. Draw a smaller clover, and cut it out.
- Cut four coin slots in the large clover. Glue the large clover on top of the tubes. Glue the small clover on the side of the tubes.
- Label the coin slots "Quarters," "Pennies," "Dimes," and "Nickels."
- To make your bank reusable, cut four holes in the base to remove coins. Put the plastic lid over the base to use the bank again.
