These are my favorite St. Patrick's Day activities for preschoolers - chec them out! St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bin Trash Rainbow Excellent fine motor work and it uses what you have on hand, this is a rad little rainbow activity! Marshmallow Shamrocks Gold Dig Sensory Activity from Simple Play Ideas I don’t think a year has passed without me doing this activity in whatever classroom I am in. It works as a St. Patrick’s Day activity for preschoolers but it is also wonderful for weather lesson plans too. OK, ok I love marshmallows but so do kids and they don’t eat nearly as many as you think they would. St. Patrick’s Day Sink & Float from Little Bins for Little Hands Spin Art Shamrocks and Rainbow this is so fun to do and what else would you use a salad spinner for these days? St.Patrick’s Day LEGO Challenge My PreK students love Lego challenges! Comb Painted Rainbows process art is always fun! Texture Collage Shamrock this is a great project to use up the odds and ends in your craft supply closet! Rainbow Bug Hunt bugs, cars, blocks... you can do this with whatever you have on hand. Leprechaun Gold Sensory Tub dig and find! Nature Rainbow - I am jealous if you can do this outside already... we got snow today! xoxo, allie |

It’s been a while. Many of you have reached out to ask me if I am still blogging, still teaching, still offering trainings. Yes! I’m just taking a much needed break. This school year was challenging and using my days off focused on more ECE was just not what I needed to be the best teacher I could be for my students. So this winter and spring instead of blogging and creating new resources I rested and crocheted and snuggled with my dog who thinks he’s a baby. I promise this isn’t forever, I’m...
