Hey! I found some fun things you could do to bring some St. Patty\u2019s Day festivities to your home and I wanted to share my favorites with you. They aren\u2019t all Spanish related, but that\u2019s ok, right!?<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t worry – I\u2019m only sharing the EASY ones, so not too much extra “mom work” for you \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little list I created with 11 easy and memorable ways to celebrate the St. Patrick\u2019s with your kids!<\/p>\n

\n#1:\u00a0Have a Shamrock cookie decorating contest!\u00a0All you need is some easy dough (recipe here), icing (recipe here), and sprinkles! The winner gets to eat 2 extra cookies after dinner!<\/p>\n

Powdered Sugar Icing Recipe\u00a0Here<\/a>
\nCookie Cutters on Amazon\u00a0Here<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n

\n#2:\u00a0<\/b>Play the Green Game!\u00a0Each family member has to make a list of all things they can think of that are GREEN (verde). Set the timer for 5 minutes. Then, you get 1 point for each item you wrote that NO ONE else has on their list!<\/p>\n

#3:\u00a0<\/b>Eat Lucky Charms cereal for breakfast!\u00a0It\u2019s not healthy\u2026 at all. But there\u2019s something magical about them, especially on St. Patty\u2019s day! You can even talk about the different shapes of marshmallows (malvaviscos in Spanish) and which are your favorite.<\/p>\n

#4:\u00a0<\/b>If you are into eating more healthy, instead of cereal for breakfast,\u00a0make GREEN smoothies!\u00a0This is a staple in my house, mostly because my husband forces me to drink them lol because they are SO dang healthy! They\u2019ll supercharge your day! Read the nutrition labels and talk to your kids about why these are so good for us, and then make them together. And don\u2019t worry – they actually taste pretty good. Here\u2019s the recipe we use.<\/p>\n

1 cup of greek yogurt
\n\u00bd of a peeled lemon (or a shot of lemon juice)
\n1 ripe banana
\n1 cup of milk or juice
\n1-2 large handfuls of spinach, packed
\nTop with about 1 cup of frozen strawberries\/fruit
\nBlend well, 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n

#5:\u00a0<\/b>Another healthy green recipe that is a staple in my house and one of my obsessions is guacamole! It\u2019s green,\u00a0so make Guac to celebrate St. Patty\u2019s Day!\u00a0Here\u2019s a video of me making homemade guac<\/a>\u00a0– you can get all the ingredients and make it along with me!<\/p>\n

3-5 soft and ripe avocados (Make sure avocados are ripe, soft, and ready to be used!)
\nLime or lime juice
\nSalt
\n1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic cloves pre-chopped
\nTortillas or tortilla chips
\nOptional ingredients: Onions pre-chopped, Tomatoes pre-sliced, Leaves from 10 sprigs cilantro, Ground cayenne pepper
\n** For a more “Kid friendly” guacamole, you can just do the top ingredients with no onions, tomatoes, cilantro or cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n

#6:\u00a0<\/b>Throw on some\u00a0classic Irish tunes\u00a0and do a little jig \ud83d\ude09\u00a0Here\u2019s a 3 hour compilation of irish music<\/a>\u00a0for your enjoyment<\/p>\n

#7:\u00a0<\/b>Here<\/a>\u00a0is a little\u00a0Irish dancing lesson\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0are some adorable Irish dancing world champions!<\/p>\n

#8:\u00a0<\/b>Play\u00a0this fun and easy matching game<\/a>!\u00a0Everyone wins because you get to each chocolate afterwards!<\/p>\n

#9:\u00a0<\/b>Have an Irish movie night!\u00a0Here<\/a>\u00a0is a list of the top 20 Irish movies!<\/p>\n

#10:\u00a0Here’s a fun and simple St. Patrick’s Day colors wordsearch I made for your kiddo, just for fun!\u00a0Get the worksheet here<\/a><\/p>\n

#11:\u00a0<\/b>If you\u2019re feeling extra fancy or want some more, here is a\u00a0blog post from my favorite blogger\u00a0<\/a>with TONS of resources about\u00a0St. Patty\u2019s day with a Spanish-for-kids twist!!!<\/p>\n

#12:\u00a0<\/b>And lastly, wear something green! And pinch anyone who isn\u2019t \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Hopefully you\u2019ll find something fun in this little lista to do with your kiddos to celebrate the holiday this year.<\/p>\n

As for me and my husband, Timmy, we will be doing the green smoothies, guac, and going out for some corned beef and cabbage!<\/p>\n

Fun fact – Did you know Timmy is actually irish, has an orange beard, and his dad is a true red-head! We love it!<\/p>\n

Wishing you a pot of gold and all the joy your heart can hold!<\/p>\n
