Your St. Patrick’s Day activities probably looked WAY different before you had kids. Just because they can’t drink green beer doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the day with them. Here are some fun activities you can do with the whole family this St. Pattrick’s Day:

Play a St. Patrick’s Day Game

There are some really fun ways you can keep your kids active during St. Patrick’s Day. The obvious one is Hot Potato:

But you can also send your kids on a treasure hunt for the Pot O’ Gold the leprechaun left behind:

St. Patrick’s Day Crafts

If your kid loves green, then they are going to LOVE all the fun crafts they can make for St. Patrick’s Day! If you have toddlers or preschoolers at home, this one is great for sensory play and to work on fine motor skills:

And finally, if your child is looking to channel their inner leprechaun, why not make them their own leprechaun beard!

Catch a Leprechaun

Speaking of leprechauns, why not try and catch one in your own home? Your kids could make a trap like and set it out the night before. While you might not actually catch him, rumor has it that they will leave small presents for your kids who try. Find some really easy and fun ideas for leprechaun traps below:

Have a Irish Themed Meal

No holiday is complete without some special food to go along with it. For St. Patrick’s Day there are a ton of Irish meals you can enjoy with the family. You should definitely start with Soda Bread that your kids can easily help make:
