St. Patrick's Day

I did a similar thing for St. Patrick's day as I did on Valentine's Day for the kids. We celebrated with all things GREEN. They woke up to a special package from a little leprachaun with fun things that were green and gold. Balloons, Gum, Bubbles, Shampoo, Shirt, and gold candies. They loved it. For breakfast we had lucky charms and green milk. No one seemed to eat their cereal that day.

Leprachaun Trap

Parker's first grade teacher is amazing. She is always doing fun projects and activities with the kids that really get their minds going in a fun way. One of the projects that we had to recently was to build a Leprachaun trap for St. Patrick's Day. I had no idea what to do, so we looked through the amazing world wide web and found some pictures and went from there. We built our trap using an oatmeal container, tissue paper, easter grass, marchmallows, toothpicks, lucky charms, and gold coins. It turned out awseome and the whole family participated, so it became a fun family activity. Parker took it to school and even caught a Leprachaun!! WOW!! He was thrilled.
