I've been thinking about St. Patrick's day for a couple of weeks, trying to think of a way to make it fun for the kiddos. None of the crafts have really grabbed me and I'm still wore out from all the cooking I did on Pi day. So how does a wore out mom, who can't get into the spirit of the Irish, celebrate?I am wearing my green duct tape bracelet. Every year I'm surprised by how little green I have in my wardrobe!
DLTK shares a little about the holiday and a story about St. Patrick and the snakes. I also found a word search, my kiddos usually like those. Enchanted Learning has a fun challenge; find a green thing that starts with each letter of the alphabet. They even have a sample answer sheet. Family Fun has a physical challenge of letting go of the gold and a couple of fun Gaelic Games.
If I could have made my brain work sooner, we could have learned about Ireland or read more Artemis Fowl. I think I'll issue a journal challenge - what would you do if you found a pot of gold?

You used to make us green milk! And pancakes if I remember right.
I think I stopped using green food coloring after I added it to Top Ramen, it was just wrong.
