Green Hats
Green Paint
16x20 inch sheets of newspaper
1x2 inch piece of sponge
Plastic lids (for paint)
Fold sheets of newspaper in half, short end on short end. Fold the top corners (folded ends) over so they meet in the center. Fold up the bottom edges so they meet the folded edges. Pour a small amount of paint in a plastic lid, dip the sponge in the paint, and let your child decorate the hat.
Hide the Shamrock
Green construction paper
Scissors
Cut a shamrock out of green construction paper. Choose a child to be "it." While the other children hide their eyes, "it" hides the shamrock within a
designated area. Everyone then opens their eyes and tries to find the shamrock. The finder gets to be "it" for the next round.
These great ideas came from The Preschooler's Busy Book by Trish Kuffner
Shamrock Necklace
Green and white construction paper
Scissors
Hole punch
Shoelaces, ribbon, or yarn for stringing
Cut several sizes of shamrocks from green and white construction paper. Punch a hole in the top of each shamrock.
Give your child a shoelace (or length of a ribbon, or yarn with masking tape wrapped on each end) and show him how to string the shamrocks to
make a Saint Patrick's Day necklace. This idea came from The Toddler's Busy Book by Trish Kuffner

The other stocking threads inspired me to ask you ladies. I'm rather stumped on how to do this inexpensively. I've adopted several families this year for Christmas and need some suggestions on what to put in a 1 yr old girl, 2 yr old boy and 3 yr old boy's stockings.
