Cut shamrock shapes from a large piece of plain white card. Pour a little blue and yellow paint onto each shape and let kids mix the colors with their fingers. The blue and yellow mix and turn bright green!

Take a clean Bell pepper and cut it across horizontally and clean out the seeds. Dip the pepper in green paint and print onto paper - it gives a lovely shamrock shape.

Take a plain white paper plate and paint or crayon it green on one side and various colors on the other side. When the paint is dry begin cutting from the outside of the plate into the center. If you cut very carefully you'll be left with a spiral effect. Design a head and tail and attach them to the top and bottom of the spiral. You now have a fully grown Irish snake!! Hang the snakes around the house and wait for St. Patrick to banish them forever!!

Fun Food

St. Patrick's special green milk

Pour a little green food coloring into the base of a clear glass. Then, while the kids are watching, pour in the milk. It'll turn green before their eyes.

St. Patrick's green fizz

Pour a little green food coloring into the base of a clear glass and slowly fill up with Sprite.

Green hills of Ireland

Green food coloring added to mashed potato and then scooped into "mountains" at dinner.

Cheesy Shamrocks
