St. Patrick's Day Craft


This is our first St. Patrick's day we're able to start a fun tradition since Carson is old enough to embrace in the fun! 


One of the recent activity's we took part in was a craft we will be sending out to the Grandparents. 


With Carson being a two year old he wasn't able to master in his rainbow painting skills so, I let him go town on finger painting. After painting four different papers my little guy was worn out lol! 
I came across the saying "you're my pot o'gold at the end of the rainbow" on Pinterest but they had it featured with colorful twizzlers and gold coins. I decided we will take that saying and incorporate it into Carson and "Cayden's" art work. 


For the bag of goodies we simply went to the dollar store bought some clover necklaces and clovers to add to another one of Carson's artworks that says "Lucky to have Grandparent's like you" the gold coins we got at local Fred Meyer on sale 10/10 (love those deals lol!!) 


Another fun tradition we will be starting this year-


Trying to "catch" the Leprechaun


we will be leaving out a small laundry basket set up as a trap to catch the leprechaun, to lure the little guy we will be leaving out some sort of treasure or something green. in return the Leprechaun will not get caught but leave the boys treats and track green footprints throughout the house! (of course not real ones just construction paper cut outs of feet lol) 


For Breakfast we will start the day with Green Pancakes and all the green fixings... even color the milk green... maybe! 


What are some of your families St.Patty's traditions?
