St. Patrick's Day Fun

Waaay back in March I put together a fun St. Patrick's Day party for our playgroup.  I kept meaning to post about it, but I never took any pictures so I finally got some from a great friend, Char.  I had the kiddos go on a little scavenger hunt with 5 shamrock clues hidden by a sneaky leprechaun in our church building.  First we drew shamrocks on their faces for shamrock power so we could find the clues!  I wanted to post what the clues were because I thought I was pretty clever for coming up with them, but I think I threw the paper away...blast! :)  At the end of the clues we landed at the "treasure" which consisted of brown paper bags filled with green necklaces, shamrock stickers, candy, and lucky charms cereal.  It was so fun to plan this little activity for our playgroup friends and I'm so glad they all seemed to love it!  Here are a few pictures.
