Are you getting ready for St. Patrick's Day?
St. Patrick's Day is one of those low key holidays but so much fun for the kiddo's. We usually keep it pretty simple--mostly we just wear green and have Lucky Charms for breakfast.
Way back in what must have been November I spied these little witches cauldrons on clearance for 50 cents. I snatch them up, knowing exactly what I was going to do with them.
And after all those months I finally get to use these little guys to make the perfect pot of gold.
I filled them up with a little Easter grass and they were ready to be piled high with gold.
But wait . . .
Every pot of gold needs a rainbow.
A few pipe cleaners did the trick.
And I made some on a smaller scale . . .
Just perfect for wrapping up--
and for a sneaky little leprechaun to hide on March 17th.
What do you do to make St. Patrick's Day fun for your kids?
This idea is my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!!! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteLove these! They look so cute all wrapped up, brilliant idea! We dont usually celebrate St Patricks Day at all but we might have to have a go at something like this, you've inspired me :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. I'll watch for those cauldrons next Halloween.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason, we LOVE St. Patricks day. Last year I snuck some green food coloring into the bottom of the boys cereal bowls without them seeing then poured the cereal on top. The kids watched me pour the milk in and were baffled when it started to turn green. They were sure it was leprechauns that did that.
We always make pistachio cupcakes and eat corned beef and cabbage sandwhiches. The kids build leprechaun traps but have never had any luck.
So cute, I love the rainbow!

Cute! I did almost the same thing with my son on St Patty's day, except we painted a little flowerpot black as the base. I like that yours is unbreakable though...:) Kids' crafts are such fun!
