    St Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites

    March 6, 2019 - By 

    It’s not long until we celebrate St Patrick’s Day. I’ve been trying to think of small ways to celebrate at home and came up with some delicious St Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites. I’m all in favour of a quick bake so used a shop bought packet mix as the base of these. You can make them in a mini muffin pan or in a brownie tray and cut them into small bites. Don’t forget to check out our other St Patrick’s Day crafts for kids and adults to make. Ingredients to make St Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites: 1 (18.3 ounce) package…

    I love celebrating St Patricks’ Day. It’s such a lovely, colourful celebration after the drab months of Winter. As we walked to karate this evening we were all amazed by the colours in the sky. It was so lovely to walk in the twilight and we’re counting down the days until the clocks spring forward next month. After the success of our Nativity lacing paper plate craft we are back with another lacing craft. These are great for honing those fine motor skills and who doesn’t love a rainbow too!

    Do you ever wonder how you’ve ended up with so many craft supplies? The house is full so we have been trying hard to use some up lately, especially as the snowy weather has kept us inside. Everything has been very pretty but WHITE. To bring some colour into our life we had fun with a large box of ready made pom poms. The children have been using them for all sorts of things – mainly covering their Sylvanian Families play scenes in snow! I thought I could keep them busy by getting them to sort the colours and making…

    Sometimes I’m not sure if we should celebrate St Patrick’s Day in our crafting or not. We have an Irish surname but no real connection to Ireland. But then I think that my children are taught every Saints Day at school so why shouldn’t we do something at home too. We’ve had quite a lot of fun with St Patrick’s Day crafts before which you can see here. Today we’re going to add our air-drying clay fingerprint shamrock craft for kids to them.

    It’s been a while since we made any sun catchers to brighten the room, but with St Patrick’s Day coming up next month, it seemed the perfect time. We have Irish ancestry but I admit we don’t go all out to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Shamrock sun catcher craft The shamrock is symbol of Christianity in Ireland and associated with St Patrick. Our paper plate shamrock sun catcher is a simple craft activity for children. I traced a shamrock onto a paper plate and cut it out. My 4 year old cut a sheet of green cellophane into small pieces. I…
