Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! On this day best known for leprechauns, luck of the Irish and green beer, celebrating with kids often includes a lot of creativity.
One of my favorite family magazines, Disney’s FamilyFun, features a great range of ideas for St. Patrick’s Day crafts and goodies, which are perfect for kids of all ages. In particular, I eyed a couple of ideas that would be great for dessert on the luckiest day of the year!
If you know me, you must know I love cupcakes. So of course, I have to share about the Taste a Rainbow Cupcakes, just one of the fun St. Patrick’s Day themed recipes that’s featured in FamilyFun. The Taste a Rainbow Cupcakes make a colorful dessert idea. All it takes is cake mix, some food coloring, a few bowls to separate the colors and a little patience to pour and layer each color into the cupcake pan, and voila, you have your Taste a Rainbow Cupcakes.
And if cupcakes aren’t your speed, there are many more St. Patrick’s Day-themed recipes to choose from, including St. Patrick’s Pot of Gold, which is lemon-flavored Jello served in limes, or rather, emerald pots. Again, it just takes a little more effort cutting and preparing, but this pot of gold is a festive way to celebrate with the wee leprechauns!
If you guys do any St. Patrick’s Day recipes with the kids, please share them! I love to hear all the green, gold and Irish ideas. Also, be sure to check out FamilyFun for recipes and craft ideas that are fun all year long.
