5 Fun Ways to Make St. Patrick’s Day Extra Special for Kids

St. Patrick’s Day is all about magic, mischief, and a little bit of green! If you’re looking for fun, non-toxic ways to bring the holiday to life for your little ones, we’ve got you covered. From naturally dyed treats to leprechaun-approved surprises, these five ideas will make the day feel extra special—without any artificial dyes or chemicals.

1. Turn Breakfast Green—The Natural Way! 🍀

Start the morning with a fun surprise by turning your milk (or plant-based alternative) a festive shade of green! Instead of artificial food dye, mix in a little spirulina powder—it’s packed with nutrients and gives a vibrant green color. Pour it over cereal, blend it into a smoothie, or use it for pancake batter to kick off the day with a healthy and magical touch!

2. Set a Sneaky Leprechaun Trap ✨

Leprechauns are known for their tricks, so why not challenge your kids to catch one? Grab a shoebox, some string, and craft supplies to build your own leprechaun trap. Leave tiny footprints (made with non-toxic paint or cornstarch) around the house to show that a sneaky little visitor stopped by. If the trap "catches" anything, leave behind a gold coin, a note, or their favorite snack as a special treat!

3. Create a St. Patrick’s Day Treasure Hunt 💚

What’s at the end of the rainbow? A treasure hunt, of course! Hide little surprises like gold foil-wrapped treats, shamrock stickers, or fun handwritten riddles around the house or yard. Make the grand prize something extra special—like a basket filled with festive goodies, including Skout Organic Apple Pie Kids Snack Bars (green and delicious!).

4. Make DIY Non-Toxic Green Play Dough 👩‍🍳

Get creative in the kitchen by making your own non-toxic green play dough with ingredients you probably already have! Mix:

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup salt
  • 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • Spirulina powder for natural green coloring

Heat everything on the stove, stirring until it forms a dough. Let it cool, then let the kids shape shamrocks, leprechaun hats, or whatever their imagination dreams up!

5. Pack a St. Patrick’s Day Basket 🎁

Instead of a traditional Easter-style basket, surprise your kids with a St. Paddy’s Day version! Fill it with green goodies like Skout Organic Apple Pie Kids Snack Bars, a small green toy, a book about Ireland, or fun festive socks. It’s a simple way to spread a little extra holiday cheer—leprechaun-style!

This St. Patrick’s Day, you don’t need artificial dyes or store-bought gimmicks to make the day special. A little creativity, some natural ingredients, and Skout Organic snacks can turn an ordinary day into a magical, memory-filled one. 🌈💚 Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
