Make St Patrick’s Day Fun for your Kids with our activity ideas to decorate, entertain, educate and nourish.
Moving over to Ireland has given us even more reason to enjoy and celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Before kids it was an excuse for a night out at a local Irish themed pub, but now it is an opportunity for us to learn about and immerse ourseves in the culture of the country that we have decided to bring our children up in.
Locally we enjoy the parade and a family trip to the funfair. The kids love to check out the colourful displays in the shop windows and enjoy the school celebrations in the run up to the day. They especially love that they get to take the day off school, as St Patrick’s Day is a National Holiday over here in Ireland.
At home we enjoy making decorations and adding a St Patricks Day theme to our After School Activities and snacks.
How will you be celebrating St Patricks Day this year?
