    I totally love the idea of using a green bell pepper as a stamp. I wish my girls were younger when they loved to do activities.
    We have Irish heritage so this is one of our favorite holiday celebration days. I wish I had some fun idea’s to ad. This one is common I think, but we make cupcakes and put Lucky Charms cereal on the cupcakes with green sprinkles.
    We also use to make a leprechaun trap with gold pieces we made from paper. Then you put it on the front porch or in a pile of clover with a stick and string. But you have to do it at night or you won’t catch one. But then again, what kid is awake at 3AM? lol
    So much fun!

    These are great –thanks for sharing!

    My mom’s family is all Irish and I’ve visited Ireland twice, as well as danced in a St Patty’s Day parade when I was little. I always like to break out some Irish music and celebrate. I think we might try that bell pepper stamping idea and check out some of the books.
