ST PATRICK’S DAY PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES
CELEBRATE ST PATRICK’S DAY
Welcome Spring with St Patrick’s Day crafts and playful science activities! You might wonder, why I put so much emphasis on holiday activities. Kids love to learn but not always by doing the same exact activity again and again.
Play and learn with easy to set up and inexpensive St Patrick’s Day activities and ideas that everyone will enjoy! Who doesn’t love the magic of rainbows, leprechauns, and pots of gold!
Adding specific St Patrick’s Day colors (like green and gold, and rainbows) and accessories (gold coins and little black pots or shamrock confetti) will allow young kids multiple opportunities to play and learn. I have always found that kids love these ideas!
Make green slime, explore eruptions and chemical reactions, build leprechaun traps, and so much more!
We also have fun with rainbow science experiments because little leprechauns love rainbows!
