St. Patrick's Day Crafts

St. Patrick's Day is approaching!

Each year I like to do something small for the boys for St. Patty's Day.  Here are a few of the things I did in past years, and some new ideas.

Green Rice Krispies Treats:  I haven't made these, yet, but they are on the list this year.  I know I can buy Rice Krispie Treats, but I have never made them before, and I think the boys will love them! 
Crochet Pot of Gold:  I made these last year, and the boys still use them for various trinkets.  I've added a pattern herehere.  I filled these little pots with Rolos as the gold.



Crochet Shamrocks:  The pattern for these little guys can be found herehere.  They are great to adorn the little pots above.  They can also make a cute hair bow, or be worn somehow, so no one gets pinched!

Scavenger Hunt:  I did this one a couple of years ago, and the boys really liked it.  I don't have any printables for this one, but all you have to do is write down little riddles on slips of paper, leaving them at a couple of spots in the house.  The last, of course, led to their treat.  For their treat, I made a black velvet bag and filled it with gold coins, and had a shamrock coloring page.  I wish I could find the bags I made, but maybe I'll throw together a sewing tutorial for one!!  That would be fun!! 

St. Patty's Day Scavenger Hunt Part 2:  Have your littles search out different things that can be associated with St. Patrick's Day:  rainbows, colors (ie gold, green).  They'll have fun, and get a prize at the end!



St. Patty's Day Jewelry:  I have some large beads somewhere, that the boys will love using to make some green and gold necklaces or bracelets for their friends, or even themselves!

Whatever you do for St. Patrick's Day, have fun with it!!
