St. Patrick's Day Bento

we are coming to St. Patrick's Day ... so here's some ideas to celebrate with our children.

are all fairly simple things that I found hanging out here and there in the big world of network and so I thought I'd share them with you.

• a decoration for the bedroom window. ideal for these days (I do not know about you, but here in Milan are very dull) ... a rainbow ends straight in a pot of gold Leprechaun, the Irish leprechaun. The idea I found on Frugal Family Fun Blog where you can also see an image. The pan is made of black cardboard, to the gold she has used the maps of chocolates ... we will use a gold tray of pastries cut into small pieces. For the rainbow is the ideal paper kites, which is a kind of wax paper colored ... for those who lived in Milan and did not know where to find it, just ask and I will tell you where I found myself.

• On the same site, an activity to do outdoors: children draw small footprints green cones with chalk on the floor leading up to a rainbow always drawn ... and jumping over, making sure to put your feet on the tracks :-)

• Cut and then stitch together the clovers in pannolenci to extract (you can also cushion) of the decorations to be applied to the strings, bands, pins or clips to be applied ... so wherever you like. The same can be done, if you have more colors, to create small rainbows ... try, you will see the children really enjoy sewing.

• For younger siblings can draw on some boards thick enough and strong a clover and a rainbow, paint them and doing the little holes are not too close to the edge, sew them, passing needle (on wool and with rounded tips) and colored wire in the little holes. Here you can find images to get the idea.

• If you have a shirt that you decorate with the help of a potato and colors for the stuff you can do to create the stamp.

• The last thing to end the day, you can tell a story by candlelight to your children, before the goodnight kiss ... well, you can always do this, right?

up the good work and good St. Patrick's day!

PS as well as of course also for the muffins these are great ideas to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Italian constitution and replacing the clover to the rainbow flag ... except the path with the steps that you can do by drawing footprints of all three colors disordered, until reaching the finish line, a beautiful Italian flag.
