St Patrick’s Day

Leave a comment

St Patrick’s Day is March 17th, which is fast approaching. What are some themed activities for your multiples?

For those who are into tactile sensory play, you could make Rainbow Rice (with nontoxic watercolor paints, of course), or for the little ones, colored cereal rainbows are a fun, edible way to get a similar experience. Let’s be real, even if you’re not so little, colored cereal is a great way to play and have a sweet snack at the same time.

Green bell peppers are another great way to snack healthily and have some craft time. If you cut them horizontally, they are pre-made edible three-leaf clovers, and they can double as clover stamps if you want to get a little messy. Sticking with the clover theme, Shamrock Straw Toppers are a cute way to add festivity to drinks (besides the green food coloring that is so prevalent during the holiday), and Clover Hair Pins are a kid-simple way to craft and dress up for whatever events you’re planning to attend, whether it be a parade or just a family dinner. And for dessert, you can break out that green food coloring and make easy-peasy clover cookies — just roll the dough into little balls and bake! Hardly any muss, and definitely no fuss when your kids are eating them. More

The Diaz Duo's 1st St. Patrick's Day! 2005

Even if your family history doesn’t show a trace of Emerald Isle blood, everyone is Irish today so let’s celebrate!

 

For years the Diaz Family has woken up to find their home invaded by Leprechauns!

These pesky creatures color their milk green, toilet water green and leave small pots of gold for each child.

 

As the kids get older, they are falling less and less for our tricks, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying!

It’s not to late to have your home invaded, lol. Turn off your home security system, and see if these little guys turn up!

Here are a few other fun things to do with your kids today:

Shamrock, Texas!

The Story of St. Patrick’s Day

 

No matter what you choose to do, spend the day celebrating your family!

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
