So, I was looking for some things to do with the boys the next 2 weeks leading up to St. Patrick’s Day! I came across so many cute ideas, that I thought I would pass them on to you. We love to get in the kitchen to stir, dump, and lick, however, the boys’ attention spans only last so long. I like recipes that are cheap, quick, and rewarding. I was excited to find these online at PreschoolEducation(dot)com – there are plenty more ideas! Have fun with these!
