On our own time is a first time stay at home mommy blog to share daily activities and creative projects with other moms and teachers. I love sharing all these ideas with my own children and can't stand to be away from them. I also love teaching and hope to further this blog into a useful tool to refer to when I am ready to head back into the classroom.

Leprechaun Hunt
Lucky Leprechaun Hunt
What You'll Need:
Gold Coins
Green Container
(Awesome Glittered Shamrock Glasses Optional)
I'm a sucker to celebrate anything fun with my kids. I mean I try to go all out. But, when you're on a budget, you have to find frugal fun ways.
This Leprechaun Hunt was so fun. We first read a library book about catching a leprechaun. The kids were so pumped, they set up traps to catch this little guy-and for mom to trip on. I found clovers for sale at Trader Joe's during the festive season, which were really a hit!
I found an old green bandana to accent as our table cloth, made green chocolate chip cookies, and wrapped up small mint m&m's with kids names on it.
Each child had a small take out box from the party store, and found a bulk bag of gold coins to hide around the house. The kids loved running around checking our traps and find coin trails to pick up and collect.
(The beer tie is not age appropriate but was a dug up old costume from days of ol)
