St. Patricks Day activities

We did these with cookie cutters and paint.

Then we made some cupcakes for the neighbors.

Leprachaun Trap

This years trap was a bust. The chocolate gold coins were gone St. Patricks Day morning. Oh well, theres always next year:)

At least we can catch a daddy with this trap:D

We did a little reading..................

Rooster and Big Dog really enjoyed St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks.

A pretty good read

The kids loved this book that we picked up at the library:)

Four Leaf Clover Craft

We made these using tissue paper.

Pot of Gold

I saw that Tot School was doing a sensory search with a St. Patrick's theme. We didn't use dried peas. I just used some rice dyed green. The kids searched for chocolate gold coins and St. Patrick's Day necklaces.

After Rooster found a necklace for herself she made sure her brother got the other one:)

Big Dog loved his necklace.

Fancy Leprechaun Traps in Family Fun Magazine

I don't know how many of you get Family Fun magazine but it's awesome. In this months issue they have taken leprechaun traps to a whole new level. I anticipate a capture this year:D Here is a look back at our past trap.



Leprechaun trap from 2007. (We thought a leprechaun might check into our hotel.....but, that didn't work)

This is the trap from 2008. We tried to coax a leprechaun into our trap with an Irish pride buffet of corn beef and hash. That didn't work either:)
