Each year leprechauns visit our house and while they do make a bit of a mess, they leave some great treats for the kids.
If you don't have leprechauns visiting your home, you may still find some of these great ideas helpful if you are giving little gifts to classmates or playgroups or any other special little people in your life this St. Patty's Day.
I also have some fun printables and party ideas if you are hosting your own little soiree for the big day. While the adults are enjoying some great appetizers and green cocktails, your little ones can be enjoying some sweet treats of their own.
And lastly, I have some fun ideas to share to bring some green spirit to your children's day on Friday and Saturday whether at home of in their school lunch. So hang on while I share tons of great ideas!
First....some great treats and goodies from the leprechauns and your own little ones. Click on any of the links below the pictures for how-to's and free printables
to help you create your own goodies.

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day regardless if you have festivities or not!
And I leave you with one of my favorite Irish blessings...
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
and, Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
and, Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Poshed Up
