Family Flashback- St. Patty’s Treasure Hunt

We have traditions for nearly every major holiday, including St. Patrick’s Day. When the boys were little we would make a St. Patrick’s Day craft of some kind and read the story of St. Patrick.

I didn’t let poor Will use glitter glue that day. But here’s one I saved that he made when he was 5. I love that the clouds spell his name!

But the best thing we did was a treasure hunt to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! I wrote clues on a piece of paper that led them to another piece of paper with a new clue (one of each of the colors of the rainbow) that led to the treasure of gold foil chocolate coins!

Now most of our traditions involve food… :o) Irish soda bread, boiled potatoes and corned beef with cabbage! Oh, and fritters with green sauce for breakfast.
