Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Leprechauns, Shamrocks, Rainbows and Green… It must be St. Patrick’s Day!!!

 

This week we celebrated the upcoming holiday, St. Patrick’s Day.

 

We began by dying noodles green. We mixed blue and yellow food coloring to create green, then added rubbing alcohol, which keeps the noodles from getting soggy. Later in the week we used the noodles to make necklaces.

Check out our water colored giant shamrocks!! Coffee filters and water colors create the coolest effects. Not to mention the awesome artists!!

 

 

We talked all about the different things that are green around us. We used our ZooPhonics letter cards for inspiration.

To help develop our fine motor skills, we worked on attaching clothespins to shamrocks!!

 

We had fun with peppers, shamrock shaped cookie cutters and sponges and made some great artwork!

 

 

We created stained glass shamrocks with contact paper and tissue paper. Our favorite part was the sticky paper!!

We tried to catch our own leprechauns with a trap! We had tons of fun painting together.

 

My munchkins worked on our counting and numeral identification skills with our Pot O’ Gold activity. After talking about where leprechauns hide their gold we each took our own handful of gold and added it to our pot.

 

 

We got to use our green noodles and laced some fancy necklaces! We also used shamrocks to make these extra special!

 

 

The best way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is with a party! My munchkins decorated cookies with golden lemon frosting and green sprinkles. Yummo!
