It's almost St. Patrick's Day!!

If you're looking for something fun to do with the kids this weekend, or Monday, I'm here with a few ideas:

-------------------------

[Infant] Rainbow Sensory Bags

This was SO easy and helps with fine motor/cognitive development in little ones.
​

Spread some plain (white) yogurt inside a gallon Zip-Lock bag. Then, drop in some food coloring in different spots.
​

Next, seal the bag and tape it to the high chair tray.

Your baby can spread the colors around and have sensory play without getting messy! (Cold yogurt holds baby’s attention best!)
​

The best part is, if your baby gets rough or the bag opens, everything inside is edible and a non-choking hazard.

(Just make sure you supervise in case the bag comes un-taped.)

​[Infant] Leprechaun Footprint Art​
​

Just print this out and stamp their little feet!

Such a cute keepsake from their first St. Patrick’s Day. :)

[Indoor] Coffee Filter Rainbows Craft

Cut coffee filters in half and have the kids color them in an arched, rainbow pattern. Then, spray them with water and let dry for a fun watercolor effect!

This is a great way to practice color order!

[Indoor] Shamrock Fingerpainting

This one is fun for the older kids! It's the perfect activity to use in a classroom and send home with the parents after school.

[Learning Game] St. Pat’s Day Math Game

Here’s an easy math game for elementary or Pre-K kids. You’ll need green construction paper, dice, and a scrap of paper to keep score on.

-Each kid cuts out a green paper clover.

-Write 3 numbers (1-6) on each leaf of your clover.

-Grab a partner to play with. Take turns rolling one die.

-If you roll a number that’s on your clover, you get a point!
​

We played the first to 10 points WINS, but you can choose any number you’re working on in class. ☺️
​

After every roll, I asked my son:

“What number is that?”

“Is that number on your clover?”

“How many points do you have NOW?”

“Who is winning so far?”

He loved it!

[Outdoor] Clover Hunt Craft

Have the kids go on a “clover hunt” outside to collect clovers. (It’s extra fun to see if anyone can find a lucky four-leaf clover!)

After they’ve collected a handful of clovers, have them stick the clovers onto a small piece of contact paper.
​

Once they’re finished, laminate the clovers (so they’re sealed with contact paper on top and bottom) while the kids decorate their frame. For the frame, you can use popsicle sticks or a square of construction paper.

Now they can bring home their very own sun catcher filled with “lucky charms!”

[Snack] Green Shakes

I blend up some orange juice and frozen spinach for an easy and vitamin-packed snack!
​

It’s also great with mango, cucumber, peeled apples, or any other citrus fruit you want to add in.

I hope these were helpful! If you have an activity that's a favorite with the kids, feel free to hit reply and tell me about it!

I'd love to share with the rest of the group. :)

There are a lot of teachers, moms, and grandmothers here that would love to know what works for you!
