Looking for something fun to do do on St. Patty's Day? I found a few awesome activities that you can do with your kiddos! Festive Read Alouds How to Catch a Leprechaun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VbxOBEkcnw The Gingerbread Man and Leprechaun Loose at School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyKieOkhWKs How to Trap a Leprechaun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS9moHZ7Wfw Build a Leprechaun Trap (See example below) Bring out the recyclables and the LEGO, and build a Leprechaun Trap. If you don’t have LEGO use any materials from the recycling bin. A leprechaun trap is an easy St Patrick’s Day STEM challenge for kids of multiple ages! The Skittle Experiment This skittles experiment is so simple and it goes fast, so don’t turn your back on it! Great for kids to set up and do themselves too.All you need are three things:
STEP 1 : You want to empty out your skittles and check out the colors. STEP 2: Next, lay out your plates in an area where they won’t be disturbed. STEP 3: Now’s the fun part, make patterns! It’s up to you on how you want to place your colors. Make a rainbow or any sort of pattern that interests you. You can experiment with placing different colors next to each other. STEP 4: Once you have your patterns placed, gently begin pouring water in the middle of the plate until it reaches all the candies and just barely covers them. Wait and watch to see what happens! Give your kids a chance to ask questions, make observations, and explore. Why not test the 5 senses and encourage them to look, listen, feel, taste, and maybe hear what’s happening. Ask open-ended questions to get kids thinking! What changes could they make to this experiment?
