Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Just a little post to share what we have been up to today. Nothing too rad to be fair but fun none the less 🙂
Making mosaic shamrocks – tissue paper / pva glue / a rather poorly drawn shamrock by mum!
St. Patrick inspired playdough – creating rainbows with pipe cleaners / small sticks /pom poms and shamrocks with green playdough and cutter.
Look at those little finger muscles develop 😉
Water play with all things green!
Now, these are blueberry and white chocolate scones – what’s that got to do with St. Paddy’s day? Nothing. We set out to make soda bread only to discover we had no buttermilk left – scones it is then!!
And finally, for dinner we had Irish Stew – doesn’t look great in this photo, but it was scrummy! I love a bit of Irish stew…
So, there we have it. Out little celebration of St. Patrick! We did talk a LITTLE about the significance of the whole shamrock, but admittedly that went right over their heads! Any Methody fans out there – congrats! Being a Friends girl myself, I’ve NO idea what you are all feeling this evening! 😉 Off now to get ready for some Revenge and One Born – oooooooooo which one to record and which to watch?!
Love the rainbows! Such fun!

You’re very brave! Although that wasn’t the messiest “messy play”, it’s something we rarely let our kids loose on. The fear of the mess, arrrrgh! 🙂 I bet they had fun.

I try to do it once a week! I’ve kinda got used to the mess now – although once a week still ain’t great
The shaving foam is coming out this week?!
