(Every single one of these ideas was given to me by a wonderfully creative friend Heather Haupt, Who I credit and thank for these wonderful suggestions that I could copy.)
Today, we had our St Patricks Day party. There was a bit of preparation before the event. Such as buying
prizes dowels, paint, pretzels, white chocolate, heart-shaped cookie cutters etc. But it was so fun putting it together and hoping the kids would learn something!
I also made clover pretzels with white chocolate! Very easy and yummy! All were eaten at the party!
At the party the kids were encouraged to make a card with a shamrock on it, representing the trinity.
This card could then be used to share the Good News with a friend:)
None of the male children participated. Whatever! I can only control so much.
I then asked the girls what the Guinness World Record was for leaves found on a shamrock?
The answer is-18 leaves & found in Japan!
(winner received prize)
Afterwards, there was a relay race where the children passed a baton to each other signifying the sharing of the Good News. Just as Patrick, patron saint of Ireland did!
(Baton I painted)
How much fun!!!! I love the pretzel idea!!!!!!!!!!!!
