Whether you’re Irish or not, St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Celebrating with kids is the perfect way to teach them about Irish backgrounds and appreciation towards other cultures. What better way to get them into the spirit than by trying some fun green inspired recipes? Before jumping in the kitchen, we recommend preparing your kitchen with the essential gadgets, such as a high quality hardwood cutting board. To make things more efficient, have everything ready before letting the kids into the kitchen to help. Here are some easy and fun St. Patrick’s Day recipes to make the most of this special holiday.
Breakfast
Start the day off fresh with these multipurpose breakfast ideas. Go green with cute, little leprechaun-sized shots of milk. Colour the milk green with food colouring and serve it with your child’s favourite cereal.
If you prefer something more filling for breakfast, why not make yummy Shamrock Shakes at home? Filled with the vitamins and nutrients that kids need to make it through the morning!
Snacks and Nibbles
Popcorn is probably the easiest and most enjoyable snack you can make for kids, and healthy at the same time! This St. Patrick’s Day, give a little twist to the traditional recipe by adding a bit of green, either through a mint syrup or a mix of green candies. Your kids, and anyone else involved, would surely love this delightfully sweet and salty snack.
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with kids doesn’t mean you have to feed them unhealthy treats all day. Offer them this tasty monster bread, packed with nutritious dark greens and proteins. It makes a perfect after-school snack for your little monsters.
Sweet Treats
These mini pretzels with a few drops of green food colouring mixed into the batter are a perfect treat to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Eat them on your own or share them with friends to spread some love. A fun addition would be to create unique Irish themed shapes with the pretzels, such as shamrocks and pots of gold instead of the classic pretzel shape.
Colour your mini cakes with three different shades of green and sandwich them with white icing. This simple and mouth-watering treat will be an instant hit amongst kids and adults alike and make for both a perfect snack and dessert.
Joining a parade or attending a festival on St. Patrick’s Day may sound like the easiest way to show the children about the Irish culture, however, why not do something interesting right at home instead this year?
