For breakfast it is fun to make green eggs by using green food dye. You can also make shamrock cookies and have the children decorate the cookies with green icing and green sprinkles. Another special dessert is making yellow jell-o and putting it in a small black bowl. This will look like a pot of gold!
I remember when I was in elementary school, my teacher hid a little leprechaun figure and we had to try and find him. This was such a special treat, because we were so young and actually thought there was a little lucky leprechaun hiding somewhere from us. It was such a nice and exciting surprise for us when we came into school that day. This happened over 18 years ago and I still remember it!! This proves that celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and doing something special for your kids is important, because it can be so memorable. A variation of this game is, hiding the leprechaun, a shamrock, a pot of gold, etc. and turning it into a hot and cold game.
Some fun crafts include making rainbow bracelets or necklaces with colorful beads. Then the last bead can be the special lucky charm! You can also print pictures off the internet and have your little ones color them in, use glitter and stickers to make the picture extra unique.
