We had a fun St. Patty's day here, complete with a leprechaun hunt. First on Wednesday we did some learning activities and sang some leprechaun songs; then on Thursday we did one learning activity then just had fun.
We played this 'heads and tails' game. We put 10 pennies in a mentos container. We shook it up then dumped out the coins. We sorted them how they landed...heads or tails. Then Cyrena wrote a number sentence for it. 5 heads + 5 tails=10! It was a great way to introduce her to the different ways we can make 10.
It was fun for Natalie to help sort the pennies then she would pick them up and put them in the container...a great fine motor activity for her.
On Thursday we had some buddies over and we graphed Lucky Charms
Then we decorated shamrock cookies.
I turned my back on Natalie for a second and this is what she came up with...1/2 a jar of sprinkles are now GONE. They went outside to play after this.
While they were outside a tricky Mr. Leprechaun came and stole some gold nuggets I had sitting on the counter. Luckily he left some clues and led us on a rainbow scavenger hunt.
We found where he hid the gold and it couldn't have been more exciting!

Your girls are going to remember all the fun holiday activities they do as kids. And you're crazy as usual ;)
So fun!!! Wow.... is all I can say... you are amazing!
I had the same activities to do with my kids so my intentions were good but with 2 sick girls for 2 weeks the day consisted of only Mint Brownies and the boys gone to a BYU party... soooo I guess I enjoyed the brownies!!
