St. Patricks Day Fun

St. Patricks Day we kept it simple. I always try to celebrate the day because I am part Irish even if it's just a little I still want the boys to celebrate the holiday. Since they're so young right now I keep it simple. I found this cute Shamrock game on pinterest. If you'd like to check it out go to my St. Patricks Day pinterest board you'll find it there. I like to give credit to these wonderful people who have these amazing blogs that like to share free print outs. This game was perfect for preschoolers. You roll a dice count the number of spaces from the dice on the board. If you land on a shamrock you get to keep a shamrock card. The player with the most shamrock cards wins the game! We also had a little treasure hunt where Liam had to find gold coins which he received a quarter for each one he found.  Liam loves starfall.com. a website that has educational games for kids. He will play all day if I let him. I had to use it for a reward because it got to be too much. But I let him go on starfall.com today to play their St. Patrick's Day educational games.  I highly recommend them here's their link  www.starfall.com

Here's a little video of the game in action. Liam I think was tired that morning he wasn't really "with it" if you know what I mean. He's 3 but sometimes I forget because he usually is so quick but sometimes he has his slow days like us all. He's so smart and he really enjoyed playing we played most of the 
morning while Blake took his morning nap.
