Six Ways to Celebrate St Patrick’s Day With Kids

It’s funny how this “holiday” tends to get skipped over a bit because it’s basically in the middle of Valentine’s Day & Easter. But it’s such a fun one with the kiddos and with having recently moved to where the school is called Shamrock Springs and the teams are all called the “‘Rocks” I figured we might as well start getting into this one if for no other reason than to collect shamrock related clothing items to wear for school spirit!  But seriously, since the girls were little they’ve loved trying to trap leprechauns and making things green so here’s a quick little St. Patrick’s Day Inspiration Round Up.

Getcha Green on Printables

During the pandemic, we gathered around the table and had a “Getcha Green On” breakfast.
The three of us (because Mike was out working still) sat down to green plates, gold coins, shamrock shaped cinnamon rolls and we went with it!
It was cute, easy, and a fun way to start the day!

DIY Shamrock Necklaces with Hot Glue

This was one thing I figured wouldn’t work, but actually worked out really well AND my tween LOVED it.
A really easy craft to do at home – the biggest task is getting the shamrock mold.
Grab your mold, glue gun, green glitter, and some ribbon and you are set!
