St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday, March 17th and will be here before you know it. Here are several ideas to make the day a special one!
Tradition
Six Silly Seeley’s get a visit from a Leprechaun and he fills their shoes with treats!
You can leave a riddle for your kiddos at breakfast for them to find their pot of gold & goodies from a leprechaun like Forever Flamingo.
You can make Leprechaun ears out of craft foam like my friend Carrie (private blog).
Food
Gourmet Mom on-the-Go came up with a yummy Leprechaun lunch for us all to enjoy.
Pack a green lunch for your kiddos like Kristi.
The Hostess with the Mostess is never one to disappoint. She’s hooked us up with several shamrock treats.
I’m so impressed with Tastefully Entertaining Irish dinner.
Here’s Cuisine Kathleen’s pear pie with a clover in the middle. {{yummy}}
Activities
Discover Southwell hooked us up with ‘how to catch a leprechaun'{{darling boys}}
You could also do it like Mucho Matagi and make a leprechaun trap
St. Patrick’s Day Decor
Deep Fried Kudzu made a quick tutorial for her St. Patrick’s Day banner.
Jennifer’s rainbow doorway is adorable and easy to make.
Part-Tay!
The Fun Times Guide has several activities and ideas for your St. Patty’s party.
S.E.I Lifestyle featured these adorable hats on their blog. I’m now dying to make some!
You could use these darling 4 leaf clovers as a party favor. I love the saying “I’m not lucky, I’m just blessed.”
Cards
Here’s Airbornewife’s ‘go green’ card.
Nikki made several beautiful cards for St. Patrick’s Day. They’re gorgeous!

These are great ideas! I usually try to incorporate some activities and teach the kids a little about why we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. There’s a fun fact sheet and some printable activities for the family to enjoy. Check it out!

The naughty leprechauns always come to our house! They turn the milk, eggs and even the toilet water green (thanks to a little food coloring), make a big mess in the living room (they like to scatter papers about) and leave chocolate coins if ds is really lucky. He loves it and gets so excited. I think the green toilet water is his favorite thing though. Boys.
