We’re on a Hunt for Leprechaun Gold

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 12:46 PM PST

Those sneaky little leprechauns have hidden our gold and we’re on a hunt to find it! We made this simple black fabric sack full of “gold” and are looking for where it went. We’re hoping to find it before St. Patrick’s Day!

Supplies for Sack of Gold:

  • black fabric – 8 inch square. No need to sew the sides, I kept it frayed.
  • gold – chocolates, yellow paper circles, or plastic gold coins
  • yellow ribbon – 10-12 inches long

Place your gold in the center of the fabric. Scoop up each corner and scrunch it at the top. Wrap and tie around the yellow ribbon, securing the gold in place.

Now find the gold! Or you can hide the gold. Pretend to be the leprechaun, letting each child take a turn to hide the “pot of gold”.

Have fun hiding and finding, then enjoy your gold spoils!

Simple and Delightful Rainbow Cookies

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 12:32 AM PST

These simple rainbow cookies are colorful and bright. Who wouldn’t want their day cheered up with a plate full of these?!

We used the Cake Mix Cookie recipe with a yellow cake mix, and added in 1 1/2 cups of m&ms for the burst of color. You could make these with any basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, just omit the chocoalte chips and add in the m&m candies.

Bake, cool, and enjoy these bright happy cookies!
