St. Patrick's Week!

I love holidays, no matter how small, and I like to plan activities to go with all of them. (Except we don't do Halloween.) St. Patrick's Day is honestly one of my favorite holidays. I used to love planning things to do in my classroom when I was a teacher. Who can't love a holiday centered around rainbows and a cute little leprechaun?! It is also a good opportunity to teach about Ireland and the reason why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Here are the activities that we did today. Josh was only interested in one tot tray, the playdough one of course. Callie did all of them except the tonging one. It will be interesting to see what they do the rest of the week. I also did a Muffin Tin Monday meal today. I've done these before, but not for a long time. It was fun to do one with the St. Patrick's theme, though the guacamole and green bell peppers weren't such a hit! (You will notice that Josh is missing some clothing in most of these pics. For whatever reason, he chooses to only wear a shirt, or only wear pants, most days. Silly kid!) My printables came from here.

Callie knows the order of colors in the rainbow. I didn't help her at all. She even told me that we were missing the indigo blue!

Matching numbers to create a picture puzzle.

Stamping letters. He didn't quite get the concept that the matching letters were supposed to be in the same rows!

Our green themed muffin tin lunch.

Callie will hate me for this pic someday!

Callie knows her letters, but I knew she would enjoy the stamping activity.

Matching bigger numbers to create her picture puzzle.

Here is the muffin tin I used for their lunch:
