There are so many different things you can do centered around this fun and unique holiday. Keep reading to check out our list of St. Patrick’s Day ideas for a shamrockin’ good time.

St. Patrick Leprechaun Trap Project

Get your children’s creative juices flowing with this great St. Paddy’s craft. We know sometimes it can be difficult to come up with your own great St. Paddy’s Day idea for the kids, so we’ve done it for you.  Create and set sneaky leprechaun traps around the house using items you already have at the house.  Pipe cleaners, toilet paper rolls, gold ribbon and green paint are all great supplies that most likely won’t have you running to the store to grab.  First, create and set the trap. Then take the kids out for a bit while someone else leaves footprints, shamrocks, gold coins or candies behind as evidence of their presence. This fun activity is sure to please and a great opportunity to create memories with your little ones!

St. Paddy’s Spirits and Foods

Of course there are the very recognizable, bright green beers, and traditional corned beef and cabbage, but if you’re looking for new ideas to add to your St. Paddy’s Day menu, we’ve got you covered.

For a delicious new take on a celebratory spirit, try a St. Paddy’s Day Punch.  For a delicious snack, leprechaun bait is the way to go. Click here for great recipes.

Fun Decorating Contests

Good St. Patrick’s Day ideas don’t have to be difficult. Get your guests involved by adding an interactive element to your party.  Set up a cookie decorating station filled with festive toppings centered around a green and gold color scheme.  Then, have some judge on the best design. Give the winner a prize that they can wear for the remainder of the evening as a reminder of their craftiness.  This could be a leprechaun hat, green sunglasses, gold beads or even a decorative pin. 

For the Traveler

If you’re native to Chicago you know all about the green river.  But if you’re not,  a trip to Chicago is a great idea! The history of St. Patrick’s day in Chicago goes back more than 175 years. Now a longstanding tradition, the dyeing of the Chicago River began in 1962, quickly becoming one of Chicago’s most famous events. You’re sure to feel surrounded by the festivities with other exciting things to see as well.  The Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade, river cruises, festive food and drink specials and neighborhood events will leave you so happy you made the trip.
