Make sure to supervise your children if they are involved in cooking and art supplies.

Draw Shamrocks with Cutouts

Toddlers mostly lack the fine motor dexterity to create proper artwork as all they can draw is a bunch of scribbles. Let your kids learn to use stencils and encourage them to be more creative. Get shamrock cutouts and some bright green pencil colors. Let your children enjoy the feeling of accomplishment as they make a perfect clove by using stencils. Make sure to tell the tales about Irish culture and the importance of shamrock as your little buddies draw the clovers.

Play with Green Paint

Painting will cause the involvement of all the senses including sight, glistening touch, and squishy noises. Let their sense of smell work by adding a drop of essential oil. Paint your kid's fingers in green paint and guide the hand on the paper. You can also use rainbow colors to be more creative. Let your child admire his unique piece of art and appreciate the amazingness of all the senses.

Cook Green Meals

Whether it's a birthday or St. Patrick’s Day, munching on delicious snacks is the most awaited part of every event. Involve your children to make snacks in a green hue. Add few drops of green dye to a gallon of milk and use it for preparing cereals, milkshake, and hot chocolate. Use fresh mint and blend it up to make a chilled mint margarita, serve the drinks in unique Irish drinking horns to elevate the fun. Get your kids involved in decorating the cupcakes with green whipped cream. Enjoy the meal with your loved ones and appreciate the lovely moments.

Treasure Green Objects

Just like a treasure hunt, this St. Patrick's Day get indulged in finding the green objects at your place. Hide some candies wrapped in green color or use natural elements such as leaves. Make sure to place the objects at accessible spots so that your kids easily find them. This cute activity will help your kids to learn the colors and increase their patience. Reward your kids with some gifts at the end of the activity.

Plant a Shamrock

Shamrock is one of the most significant items of St. Patrick's Day and your kids should know the importance of it. Let your child plant a clover by providing them a compostable vessel, soil, seeds, and a tiny bit of water. This activity might get a little messier so you will need to keep all the cleaning agents in access. Your kids will definitely love this activity and want to do it over and over again.
