Until moving to Ireland 5 years ago, celebrating\u00a0<\/span>St Patrick\u2019s Day<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>didn\u2019t really cross our minds. Now we wouldn\u2019t miss our local parade, my husband and sons even marched in it last year with their GAA club. St Patrick\u2019s week also sees the fair arrive in town and visiting that with the kids soon became a tradition as well. Although it is getting to be a very expensive trip out now, as the kids are getting older and more daring, wanting to go on the bigger rides. Going up to school in the run up to\u00a0<\/span>St Patrick\u2019s Day<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>is really special as well. There is Irish music playing as we go in and the older kids are dressed up and handing out stickers to the younger kids in exchange for them saying a few words in Irish.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are starting to get our decorations ready now for our family St Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations next month. First on the list were some\u00a0<\/span>shamrock<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>salt dough decorations to go on our seasonal hallway tree. We currently have some\u00a0<\/span>lovely love hearts<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>on their, but these are due to come down now as Valentine\u2019s Day has been and gone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Bubble Wrap Activity for Kids: Salt Dough Shamrock Decorations<\/h2>\n
You will need:<\/div>\n
2 cups of plain flour<\/div>\n
1 cup of salt<\/div>\n
1 cup of lukewarm water<\/div>\n
Shamrock cookie cutter<\/div>\n
Rolling pin<\/div>\n
Bubble wrap<\/div>\n
Baking tray<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Mix together the flour and salt and gradually add in the water until a stiff\u00a0dough is formed.<\/li>\n
  2. Roll it out onto a lightly floured surface and lay bubble wrap over the top\u00a0bubble side down.<\/li>\n
  3. Use a rolling pin or your hands, firmly press down the bubble\u00a0wrap pattern into the salt dough.<\/li>\n
  4. Take the Shamrock cookie cutter and cut out your decorations. Not forgetting\u00a0to add a small hole for hanging your decoration using a pencil.<\/li>\n
  5. Lay the shapes out onto a baking tray and put into an oven pre heated to\u00a0180c.<\/li>\n
  6. Let them bake for around an hour or until firm to the touch.<\/li>\n
  7. Once cooled paint them.<\/li>\n
  8. Once dry then add a layer of PVA glue for some added shine.<\/li>\n
  9. Leave to dry and then thread a piece of string through the hole, tie a knot\u00a0in the end and then display.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We did try adding in a few drops of green food colouring, so that we wouldn\u2019t\u00a0have to paint them. However, we didn\u2019t add enough and they came out looking a very pale, so they needed a lick of paint after all.<\/p>\n
