With Saint Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I thought I’d share a fun invitation to play for your little ones. Now, I’ll be honest – we are only a pinch (😉) Irish. However, we didn’t want to miss out on all the green cheer! While I loved seeing all the leprechaun traps out there, we weren't very keen on that idea. Instead, we thought it would be fun to make a place for him to play!
What you’ll need:
Styrofoam
X-Acto knife or box cutter
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Pipe cleaners, toothpicks, mini marshmallows, buttons, beads, etc.
Start by cutting your styrofoam to size and painting them. We painted the largest piece green and then the smaller pieces blue. I also painted white clouds on the blue pieces.
I also painted a small wood container black and filled it with shiny buttons that looked like gold.
From there, the possibilities were endless. We made a rainbow with pipe cleaners and a climbing structure from marshmallows and toothpicks. My daughter also loved using cute shamrock toothpicks for trees.
Don't you love finding activities that keep your kids creatively engaged? This was definitely a home run, so I hope you give it a try!
Have a happy (and healthy) Saint Patricks Day!
