These rainbow treat bags make the cutest St Patrick’s Day gifts! A fun and festive treat your kids will LOVE!!!
Who here is ready for all things GREEN?!?!
St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun and carefree holiday! Seriously, think about it: A day to celebrate for no particular reason that literally has ZERO expectations! You can make fun food, channel your inner “Leprechaun” by doing some fun pranks, OR you can wear green to avoid getting pinched and call it good!
Today’s idea is a super simple way to kick up your celebrations a tiny little notch without over doing it or breaking the bank. Its time to send those you love a little bit of Irish luck with these Pot of Gold Rainbow treats! (Aren’t they darling?!) Make them for teachers, friends, neighbors and grandparents, or surprise your kids with a festive after school treat! Your kids are going to LOVE you!
Here is how to make them –
St Patrick’s Day Gifts
SUPPLIES –
- plastic snack bag
- rainbow licorice
- gold candies, such as Rolos
- ribbon
DIRECTIONS –
- Bend your licorice into a rainbow shape on the inside of your bag. (Do me a favor and make sure they are in rainbow order. 🙂 HUGE pet peeve of mine! Hahaha!)
- Put gold candies in the center of your rainbow.
- Tie it up with a bow!
- … and you’re done!
So simple, right?
My kids loved these little treat baggies and they can’t wait to hand them out to family and friends!

I'm forever trying to come up with cute gifts for my three boys' teachers, and this is a GREAT one! Thanks for the inspiration.
What a great idea! Gotta make these for St. Patrick's day!
super idea!! I'm off to the dollar store now!
Those are adorable. My granddaughters would have fun making these. ♥
I LOOOOVE this idea! Super cute, easy, and fun! Mmm, loving this.
Very cute, very simple, definitely going in the "to do with the kids" idea list!
I realized after hitting "enter" that my last comment probably didn't make sense. What I should have said was "green M&Ms are supposedly aphrodisiacs and that's probably why they were out for Valentine's Day".
This is a really cute idea for any type of favor–baby shower, wedding, etc.
I'll shut up now.
What a cute idea! The green ones are supposedly "aphrodisiacs". LOL
Cute! Great thinking buying those green mnms after Valentine's day!
What a cute idea! I want to be your kids teacher!
Simply put, you make thoughtful gestures easy and fun to do!
Cute-love this idea for teachers-would be great for Teacher Appreciation Week too-I heard about the green m&m's but forgot to check after Valentine's Day-darn!
Now that's a clever idea, and inexpensive, too!
Such cute gifts for the kids to make… nice idea!
