Happy St. Patrick’s Day (a little early!)

I’m super excited to take my kidlets to this event this Sunday, March.17th. AKA- St. Patrick’s Day!


Here’s a little more info on what will be taking place at this event at Pretend City:

Sunday, March 17: Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Time: 10:30a.m. – 2:30p.m.

Green’s the way to be on this fun-filled day! Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day through a treasure hunt, Irish art, and leprechaun visits. There’s something for everyone on this day for “wearing of the green:”

• Lil’ Me Morning: Rainbow Ribbons – Enjoy a rainbow journey with the littlest leprechaun. Dance to the beat of a leprechaun dance as you watch your rainbow ribbons soar. High and low and round they go!
• Good to Go Activity: End of the Rainbow Treasure Hunt – Our rainbow has lost its pot of gold! But you can use your color identification skills to go on a treasure hunt through Pretend City to see if you can find the rainbow’s pot of gold and win your very own “pot of gold”!
• Engaging Afternoon: Lucky Leprechaun Game – See if you are the lucky leprechaun of the day in these fun St. Patty’s Day group games.

And, did you happen to catch that the event is a 2 for 1 admission???!!! Sounds like a deal to me!

While we are on the topic of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a fun “green” cookie recipe:

Pistachio Cake Mix Cookies

1 white cake mix

1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix

2 eggs

1/2 c. vegetable oil

a few drops green food coloring

1 1/2 c. white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine cake mix and pudding mix.  Add the eggs, oil  and green food coloring.  Mix using a mixer/hand mixer.   Stir in 1 cup of the white chocolate chips.  Roll dough into 1” – 1 1/2” balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Press 2 or 3 white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Happy St. Patty’s Day friends, and hope to see you at Pretend City this Sunday! Come say hello!
