Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It's almost St. Patrick's day, and to celebrate, I had the kids make some Irish flags out of construction paper. They loved parading around the house with them and when we were done playing, we hung them up for a nice St. Patty's Day decoration.

St. Patrick's Day Lunch

Since I'm thinking about St. Paddy's Day, I'll share last year's special lunch I packed for school. I was lucky enough to find some plastic shamrock baggies at the dollar store which held a sandwich and Lucky Charms trail mix. Then there were cucumbers, celery sticks, and ranch dip mixed with green food coloring. Kiwi for a fruit, and a Rollo candy for desert. I wish I remembered exactly what went into the trail mix. I believe the recipe was right off the Lucky Charms website, but now I can't find it. You can put anything into trail mix though. Throw together some lucky charms, peanuts, raisins, and green M&Ms (you can buy them around St. Patrick's Day) and you'll be all set.

St. Patrick's Day Hat

This is a cute little St. Patrick's Day hat I came up with one year while trying to plan a St. Patrick's Day party for a Kindergarten class. I try to come up with at least four or five stations and let the kids rotate around to the different activities. They also can't be too time consuming though, since you only get 1-2 hours for a party that includes stations, a large group activity, and pizza and dessert. I got all the parts cut out ahead of time and just let the kids assemble the hats. If I had more time, I would have liked for them to cut out the shamrocks. Oh well.
