Here are a few ideas for a fun St. Patrick's Day
-Using green food coloring to dye your roll dough or pancake batter. Make rolls into mini
balls, and put three together with a bread stem to make shamrocks. You could do the same with pancakes. Kids will love it.
-Take a cue from IHOP and serve green eggs and ham for breakfast. Add spinach to your scrambled
eggs, and if you are brave, green food coloring.
-Make green Jello, of course!
-Serve reubens or corned beef hash for dinner. Make a side of irish soda bread. Recipes can
be found at Allrecipes.
-Buy a clover and tend it as a family.
-Take turns being a leprechaun and hiding small treasures, such as a piece of candy. Whoever
finds it is the next leprechaun.
-Make a pot o' goodies. They need not be expensive, maybe a few dollar store toys, homemade
finger paint, and playdoh. For the weeks leading up to St. Patricks Day, award gold coins made of paper for good deeds,
chores completed, homewrok done, and such. Whoever has the most coins on St. Patricks Day gets the pot o' goodies.
