What do kids do on St Patrick’s Day?

Here are some ideas you can possibly try with your littles on this day: 

• Talk about the meaning behind St Patrick’s Day by heading over to your local library and checking out a kid friendly book all about the history and/or meaning of this holiday.

• Make rainbow necklaces by cutting strips of construction paper, gluing the ends together and creating a band of different colored circles. 

• Create a fun treasure hunt for your littles and if you’d like to turn it a bit educational, count them! 

• Make a St Patrick’s Day craft. 

I will be most likely sharing over 10 of them below. 🙂 

• Attend a St Patrick’s Day parade if your town is having one. 

This is great for learning more about this holiday. 

• Make a lucky charms rice krispies treat or a fun inspired St Patrick’s Day dish that will work well to try out with your family. 

• Print out some fun St Patrick’s Day printables.

You can find them here.

These are just some ideas that I can think of that will be helpful as fun family activities for St. Patrick’s Day!
