St Patrick’s Day typically isn’t a holiday that we go all out on at my house. I usually just buy some chocolate gold coins and call it a day. This year, however, I wanted to change it up but still, keep it simple and easy. My kids loved what I came up with and I loved that it didn’t stress me out to put it together!!

I knew I wanted to have a cute breakfast but thought it would fun to start with some sort of game. A treasure hunt sounded perfect!

I outlined a path through my house and grabbed some rainbow colored yarn to mark it. I also printed out simple shamrocks with instructions that would line the course.

The activities along the way were silly and easy. The first paper had them counting to 50.

By far the most fun part of the course was making my kids crawl under this yarn to get up the stairs to their “treasure”.

I found adorable baskets in the Target Dollar Spot in the colors of the rainbow and filled them with color coordinated treats.

All of my goodies were purchased at the dollar store. My kids were so excited for the mini box of Cheez-It’s! Mostly because they didn’t have to share. 🙂

So excited to grab each of their treats!

Happy kiddos!

Breakfast was up next. Everyone has heard of silver dollar pancakes but I thought a fun St Patty’s Day twist would be to make Pot of Gold pancakes! I made our usual mini pancakes but then sprayed them with edible gold spray paint!
