St Patrick's Day

[tinkandpan]

I am going into my ds's K class to read them a story about St Patricks Day and bringing in a snack. I am in NJ so we have those healthy guidelines meaning no cupcakes and limited ingredient cookies. Does anyone have any fun suggestions? I was going to do soda bread but not sure if the kids will appreciate it, or the teacher will appreciate the crumbs. I was thinking of pretzels or popcorn wrapped in gold foil paper and tied up to look like pots of gold.

Pots of Goldfish are popular at my day care

why not do a green theme? You could even go healthy with that, green grapes, honeydew, kiwi, celery. Buy colored goldfish and pick out the green ones and buy regular for gold ones.

I cant remember when but one fo DS10's classes did this and the kids loved it.

You can color many things green!!

Try green cream cheese on bagles (mini) green yogurt, sherbert, green muffins, green pudding.

A cool trick to add to any of the above. TAke a container of frozen cool whip. Poke a tiny hole in the botton. Add green food coloring. Seal the hole over and allow to thaw. After serving the pudding or what ever, tell the children that you have green cool whip to go with it. Act disapointed when you open and find it white. Ask then to help with a little magic (a few magic words will do). Stir and ....Green coolwhip !


Also grapes, cucumbers(with dip) pickles, green apple sauce (bought if you can find it or dye it green, green milk or 100% juice colored green. use green paper products as well.

HAVE FUN

Popcorn is just about one of the messiest snacks there is.
Our custodians cringe when they see a classroom having a popcorn party.
I don't even allow it in my classroom.

I like the goldfish idea stated above.
