How to Make Four-Leaf Clover Collage Art
Making an art collage is a great fine motor activity for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. Placing the clover, or other craft materials, onto the paper and gluing it down is a fun way for children to develop the fine motor muscles in the hand in order to prepare for writing.
If you are lucky enough to have clover growing nearby, send the kids out searching for four-leaf clovers. It will get them outside studying nature and burning energy, so you can relax for a bit.
1. Go on a nature hunt in search of clover; or, gather any of the other craft materials listed in the optional art collage craft supply section.

Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Art Collage: Process
My daughter loved this art project from start to finish. We had a blast hunting for four-leaf clovers together.
When we didn’t find any, I suggested that we make one. She was so excited she raced home with a handful of clover ready to go.
First, she noticed that each cloverleaf looked like a heart as she placed one on each leaf of the four-leaf clover.
She worked carefully to fill each petal of her lucky clover one by one.
She decided that the stems needed to be glued to the stem of her lucky clover–too cute!
