Looking for an idea for a preschool snack for St Patricks Day.

Why not let the kids frost cookies. If there is no time to bake with the kids, buy plain sugar cookies from the grocery store. Use green food coloring to tint white frosting ahead of time. Then give the kids plastic spoons and let them frost their own cookie. You may want to add green sprinkles for a little more fun.

Our local grocery store makes the bagels green around St Patricks Day. If you have access to these green gems, why not add some green food coloring to cream cheese, cut the bagels in half or quarters and let the kids have “Green Bagels”. I do this at home for my kids and they love them even though they are not preschoolers anymore.

And of course the old stand-by, green jello. Try a jello mold with little shamrock shapes. A little cool whip and some green sprinkles make a really festive treat for the kids.

Happy St Patricks Day !
