St David’s Day / Welsh Themed Day

St David's Day Ideas

We LOVE Wales and being Welsh gives us a great opportunity to celebrate St David’s Day. We decided to embark on a Welsh themed day. Here’s what we did…

Firstly we set about scene setting got our traditional Welsh tea.

For a ‘Pot of leeks’ we rolled up pieces of paper into tubes. We then made slits in the end with scissors and painted them green. We put them in a garden flower pot to make a nice centrepiece for our Welsh themed table.

Next, we made love spoons.

We bought wooden spoons for 24p each and decorated them.

Then we made cardboard cutouts to hang on the wall.

We made some daffodil hangers by folding a piece of paper like a concertina and drawing a simple template of a daffodil. We cut the daffodil out and folded the paper back out. After painting them we hung them to make pretty displays.

We used a roll of wrapping paper which we drew a Welsh scene on. We then taped it to the wall and painted it. Next, we used cardboard to make the window frame. We finished off by making a vase of daffodils to go on the windowsill.
