If you have a small cauldron pot from Halloween--here is a great and very inexpensive game idea for St. Paddy's Day. This is a concept from Family Fun magazine that I used for our Halloween party last year, and am now adapting for St. Patrick's Day.
What You Need:
- One small cauldron pot to share, or one cauldron per child (multi-packs are easy to find now at party stores)
- One straw per child
- Color card stock or paper
- For the coins I used this template
- If you're using this for a playdate or party, you can download my printable
The Game:
Using the straw as a "vacuum" the child picks up a "gold coin" and transfers it into the "pot of gold." If you go with the multi-pack, give each child his own pot. Whoever gets the most gold coins in, during a specified time, wins.
This kept my girls entertained for a long while. Even if you don't use it for St. Paddy's Day, I suggest making your own variation of it and keeping it on hand for rainy days!
