Kids love St. Patrick's Day! Why? It's all about the magic. Who doesn't want to believe there are little people running around, hoarding gold, that you could possibly catch and trick them into handing over their treasure? Children want to believe there is magic all around: Leprechauns, Fairies, Santa Clause. And I belive it's our duty to keep that magic alive for as long as possible. So for the next couple of weeks I'm planning to feature the wonderful St. Patrick's ideas posted on It's Playtime with the hope that you'll create your own magic at home with your children.
Mom to 2 Posh Lil' Divas shared how they made these lovely
Tie Dye Shamrocks using dot painters and coffee filters. I love how vibrant they are!
Candy? Math? Sounds like fun!
Criss-Cross Applesauce has a free printable
M&M Rainbow Math Game for all of you.
Need an activity for older children? How about these adorable
Racing Balloon Leprechauns from
Housing a Forest (video included)? If you have younger children, the Leprechauns could simply fly around the room rather then race. Fun for all!
Toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy going on a
St. Patrick's Day Green Hunt shared by
Little Family Fun.
This
St. Patrick's Sensory Box is loaded with green items to explore and wear. Check out
Our Daily Craft for the list of items she's included.
The Gingerbread House shared how bell peppers are perfect for
Printing Shamrocks!
