Leprechaun Loot Chest

3 Yummy St. Patrick’s Day projects, and 1 Leprechaun Trick

Leprechaun Loot Chest

Isn’t this chest of Leprechaun Loot super adorable?!?  My friend Jane made these up and gave them to my kiddos for St. Patrick’s Day.  Inside she had a wonderful assortment of green candies, Shamrocks, a necklace, and chocolate gold coins.  It was well thought out and well executed!

Need a yummy St. Patrick’s Day drink perfect for you and the kids?  Try some Leprechaun Juice!

I made this with the kids at school.  It’s equal parts pineapple juice, lemonade and sparkling white grape juice (they all thought I was serving them some wine!) Then you chop up some lime popsicles to add color and chill.  And if you want you can even add some food coloring to really kick up the color intensity.  I had them dip their cups in some lemonade and then rim their glasses with green sugar sprinkles.  They got a kick out of it!

Now, how about a yummy treat to eat?  I found a fun recipe for Pot ‘o Gold Cake on Pinterest.

And one final cute idea…a darling leprechaun letter to a child who tried to trap them.  I found the idea for it HERE.  I made mine using American Text.  I used an old corner punch I had and then outlined the paper in Metallic Gold Marker.  And finally, I rolled them up and tied them with green grosgrain ribbon and left them beside each of my kids’ traps.
