It's St. Patrick's Day and you're in LUCK! With a little help from Pinterest, we rounded up some last minute crafts and snacks to help keep your family in the holiday spirit. Help your little leprechauns celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with these creative crafts and activities!

Kill time before dinner this evening, have your kids make some Shamrock Men! It’s fun, easy, and super inexpensive — all you need is white and green paper, a black marker, scissors, glue, shamrock templates (large and small), and googly eyes (if you don’t want to draw them on).

For dessert, treat your family to Lime Sherbet Floats in honor of St. Patrick’s Day! All it takes is two ingredients and a few simple steps. Just remember to brush for two minutes before bed tonight!

Make tonight a game night! Download these FREE printable St. Patrick’s Day Bingo cards and challenge your family to a match! Kids of all ages can play.

Heading to one of the St. Patrick’s Day parades on Long Island this weekend? Make a shamrock stamped shirt! All you need is a clover pattern, a shirt, freezer paper, fabric paint, and a pencil with an unused eraser.

And why stop there? Compliment your new shirts with a one of a kind Paper Plate Leprechaun Mask! You’ll need a paper plate, construction paper, orange paint (or marker), gold glitter, glue, yarn, and scissors.

From all of us here at Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dental — we hope you have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
