It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day!!! And although I always look forward to going to the parade and watching a river turn green, I’m always looking for more fun things to do for the kids leading up to it! There are so many fun St. Patrick’s Day activities that you can do with kids! Check out some ideas!
- Make St. Patrick’s Day Crafts: You can create a variety of fun crafts with the kids such as leprechaun hats, shamrock garlands, and rainbow mobiles. You can find many ideas and tutorials online.
- Make St. Patrick’s Day Treats: You can bake and decorate sugar cookies in the shape of shamrocks or leprechaun hats. You can also make rainbow cupcakes or a St. Patrick’s Day themed cake.
- St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt with clues and small prizes at each stop. You can hide the clues and treats around the house or outside, depending on the weather.
- Watch a St. Patrick’s Day Parade: You can watch a parade or a virtual parade online to learn about the history and traditions of St. Patrick’s Day.
- Learn about Irish Culture: You can read stories about St. Patrick’s Day and Irish folklore, listen to Irish music, or watch a movie about Ireland.
- Dress up in Green: You can have the kids dress up in green and make St. Patrick’s Day accessories like green hats, necklaces, and bracelets.
- Create a Leprechaun Trap: You can have the kids create a leprechaun trap using a box, construction paper, and other craft materials.
Step out of your shell or continue the family festivities while having some fun and being creative with your St. Patrick’s Day activities!
