A Year of Crafts~ March
Today was our official Year of Crafts day for March!!!! Since St. Patrick’s Day is so close, my friend decided that we HAD to do something to celebrate! 🙂 She set the table all green with a cute little pot of gold in the middle! She also found so really cute necklace crafts with rainbows on them for the girls to make! They were of course thrilled to death!!!! They were so happy to have something to wear on St. Patrick’s Day! They got right to work on them, and after a few difficulties, they got them all done! Of course they needed to wear them the rest of the day! Here is how they turned out!
After that the kids made some Tie Dye Shamrocks. It was super simple craft, but so pretty! First the kids cut the coffee filters into a shamrock shape, then they used paint dabbers to color the shamrock. The paint bled through and made them really pretty! It was so cool, I even made one! 😉 Here is how they turned out!
Aren’t they pretty? I think so!
Finally we had lunch! As always, my friend did an amazing job making a super cute (and healthy) lunch! It was a perfect St. Patrick’s Day rainbow lunch!
What is all here?
Strawberries
Carrots
Bananas
Celery
Grapes
Chicken Nuggets
Tater Tots
An of course Cupcakes for dessert!!!
It was so much fun today and a perfect preparation for St. Paddy’s Day!!!!! I love days with great friends and great fun!!!! I hope you are having fun getting ready for the holiday!

what are “paint dabbers?” Is that what they are called? Do you have a brand name or any further info?

Sorry my other comment had some serious spelling issues! 😉 Paint dabbers are basically bingo markers. Here is a link to some on Amazon that are like the ones we used!
