One afternoon last week, me and the 2 youngest kids spent some time making “Leprechaun Footprints” (I wasn’t sure how to spell that, and was fully expecting to see a red line under the word Leprechaun, but I actually got it right the first time! WOW!)
Anyway, making these is super simple! All you need is some paper, some green paint or stamp pad and some little fists!
I used old computer paper (SUPER old computer paper!) and a green stamp pad from the dollar store. The color wasn’t as bright as I would’ve liked, but it was a dollar, so we made do.
You take your little fist and press firmly on the stamp pad using the back or outside of your fist like so:
Press that little chubby hand down on the paper. (This little hand was so hard to get a still picture of!)
When you get enough “footprints”, its time to add the “toes”.
Do this by using the chubby pointer fingers and making 5 dots over each “footprint”.
(FYI, this can be done with non-chubby fists and fingers too- I just don’t have any of those laying around here!)

Ta-Da!
Then, when you are ready for more fun, cut these out…
…place them around your house so your kids can follow them…
(we had ours go out the front door and around the side of the house)
and at the end of the trail they found some treats!
Anyway, that does it from me for St. Patrick’s Week! I hope you have all been just a bit more inspired to have some fun this holiday with your kids at home! Don’t forget to share your fun with all of us by adding your link to our party HERE. I will be back here on the 17th featuring my favorites!

How fun! My 4 year old is planning a St. Patrick's Day party/playdate for his friends. We found some cute black pots from Oritental Trading that we are putting Rolos in for party favors. I've been browsing the web for more ideas!
