Our St. Patrick's Day Party

St. Patrick's Day is normally a quite day around our house, but not this year. I decided to throw Colton a fun party in school today.

We woke up this morning and noticed that the leprechauns visited our house last night. They left footprints everywhere and messed up our house. We followed the footprints and noticed that they left Colton a pot full of treasures. (Idea from Oopsey Daisy found in her G is for Green packet.)

Colton was excited to eat a bowl full of Lucky Charms that he got from the leprechauns.

After getting ready we went on a hunt for shamrocks. (You can find a template for shamrocks in G is for Green packet from Oopsey Daisy.)   I knew Colton would love this activity since he enjoyed our Triangle Scavenger Hunt. After finding all of the shamrocks Colton sorted them by colors. 

Colton had fun doing the Rainbow art project from Little Learners Lounge. 

To end our party Colton and I read "Five Wee Leprechauns" that is also found in the G is for Green packet from Oopsey Daisy. As you can tell I used her packet for most of my ideas.

Ice Cream Cone with Colors

I found this Ice Cream Cone with Colors idea from First-School Preschool Activities and Crafts a few months back when Colton was learning his colors. This activity worked great for him. He loved adding more scoops onto his ice cream cone, and I loved that he stayed motivated enough to learn all of the colors.

Kool-Aid Art

Sprinkle Kool- Aid power onto the paper. 

 Use spray bottle to spray the Kool-Aid with water. 

(As you can tell by his grin this was Colton's favorite part.)

Ta Da!

Koo-Aid art is messy, but the mess is worth all the fun we had.
