St. Patrick's Day 2009

Yesterday our play group had a St. Patrick's Day activity. The kids listened to Irish music, heard a St. Patrick's Day story and did a sorting and graphing activity.

For the activity you need Lucky Charms cereal, little baggies (filled with the cereal), crayons and homemade graph.


Have the children sort the cereal...a pile of rainbows, a pile of hearts, a pile of moons...

Count each kind of marshmallow and color in the graph accordingly. (color 5 squares if there are 5 balloons, color two squares if there are 2 horseshoes)
Then talk about what kind of marshmallow he/she had the most of/least of.




Mum and Cole with St. Patrick's Day shirts on...



...and matching socks!!!!

(Cole HAD to have the same socks as me. There weren't any in a child's size, and he wouldn't get another pair with shamrocks, he only would get these!)

I haven't seen you in a while and you look good. I like your hair in these pictures. Hopefully Cole will grow out of the wanting to dress like mommy phase, he he.
