To keep with our tradition of all things green on this Irish holiday (click here to see fun from last year), Cole and I enjoyed a morning/afternoon filled with crafts, games, and sweet treats.
Breakfast was Lucky Charms and cinnamon rolls with green icing.
Our craft for the day was a painted rainbow mobile with glitter shamrock - which we took outside because the weather was BEAUTIFUL. Once again we talked about these special symbols and what they mean for Christians worldwide. The rainbow reminds us of God's promises and faithfulness, the shamrock reminds us of the Trinity and God's unwavering love (three heart shaped petals joining in the center to form one) and the pot of gold which reminds us of our sin and how God makes us pure as gold through Jesus Christ.
We then went on a shamrock hunt, ate a picnic lunch, enjoyed lime sherbet floats, and more outdoor play.
While Cole napped, I assembled the clues for his 'golden' scavenger hunt. He awoke to a leprechaun message on his bedroom door from Patrick (LOVE reusing my classroom materials!) stating the hunt directions and the first clue. Cole had a BLAST following the shamrock clues around the house which ended with a pot of gold (Hershey's Almond kisses in gold wrappers) and bubble prize for him to enjoy outside.
We definitely enjoyed our St. Patty's Day and hope you did as well!
