Quick & Easy St. Patrick's Day Idea
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and to be honest, I don't do a whole lot for the holiday, but, I had an idea. I thought it would be cute, so I did it!
I came across these little plastic tubes that had been languishing in a drawer for several years. After picking up some Skittles, the project was underway...
I started by sorting the Skittles by color. It brought back fun memories of my teaching days. Does anyone else remember sorting activities?
After sorting, I added them to the tubes to form a rainbow of colors. Sorry, forgot that pic!
I made a couple of tags from scrapbook paper and stamps.
They were attached to the tubes with Baker's Twine and the project was complete!
I did make a change to one of the tubes - A space was left at the top and a few marshmallows were added to act as clouds. Here's a side view to see them:
Before you say, "That's cute, Ann, but I don't have those plastic tubes", I have the solution. You probably have an empty jar. The ones that basil pesto come in would be perfect. If you don't have one of those, buy a big bag of Skittles and use a spaghetti sauce or marinara jar.
See? I'm a problem-solver!
What do you do for St. Patrick's Day?

DeleteVery cute but don't shamrocks only have three petals??
ReplyDeleteYes, shamrocks do have 3 leaves, but this is a 4-leaf clover. The 4th leaf brings good luck!
DeleteCute idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah!
DeleteThat's a great idea! And, yes, I remember doing lots of sorting activities with students when I was teaching. It was lots of fun. I don't do a lot for St. Patrick's day, either, but your ideas are very inspiring.

DeleteThis is so cute. I don't do anything for St. Patrick's Day but I DO have two nieces and a nephew and it's always fun to do something holiday related with them. I think they'd love these.
