Having an itty bit of Irish heritage and bearing the poetic name of Ireland, I always feel compelled to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. In years past St. Patrick’s Day meant parades and Irish brews or a traditional Irish meal, but this year I wanted to keep it easy and colorful for the little ones.
- Pot of Gold hunt
- cookie baking + decorating
- rainbows + shamrocks
- Irish story telling (toddlers want to know about anything and EVERYTHING)
Our mini celebration was inspired by the Irish myth of pots of gold buried at the ends of rainbows. I love myths and legends! Plus, what kid doesn’t love rainbows!?
