Sunshine lives for holidays. St. Patrick's Day is one of her favorites. She calls it Leprechaun Day because it's easier.

Sunshine knew that her older siblings had St. Patrick's Day Activities on their work shelves. She wanted to be sure that she could participate in the fun as well.

I created these St Patrick's Day Tot School activities with Free Printables just for her and am so excited to share them with you.

Moving on to St. Patrick's Day... Here are our tot school activities!

St. Patrick's Day Tot School with Free Printables

St. Patrick's Day Match Up

These cards are working perfect for Sunshine in preparation for 3 part cards.  

Last month she was only able to match up three out of four cards correctly, half of the time. I'm hoping this month, now that the activity is more familiar she'll do better. We'll see.  

If nothing else she'll have fun learning some new words and playing with manipulatives.

Where is the Pot of Gold?

 

In this activity Sunshine and I will work together.  I'll read the statement on the bottom of the control card, pointing to where the pot of gold is in the picture.  She'll then place her pot of gold on her rainbow picture.  

There are four cards in all.  I'm hoping by St. Patrick's Day she'll be able to tell me where the pot of gold is in each picture.

Lucky 4

Sunshine didn't quite grasp the concept of numbers and counting last month.  There wasn't a single day that I could get her to count to two, even by mimicking me.  I'm not giving up though.  Numbers can be a hard concept for little ones sometimes.

This month we're concentrating on the number four.  I found the 50th Anniversary Lucky Charms box at the grocery store the other day and just couldn't pass it up.  

Sunshine loves Lucky Charms, especially the marshmallows. I thought they'd be perfect counters for our number activity.  Yummy food is definitely an incentive for Sunshine.

Pots of Gold Sorting Activity

We're focusing on two colors this month, green and gold.  

Sunshine will sort the coins by color and put them in their proper pots.  I love how they fit so nicely.

Green Shamrocks

Sunshine has never used glue before.  

Last month she really struggled holding the dot marker properly. 

Perhaps a glue stick will give her more practice.  

In this activity Sunshine will glue the green pieces of paper to the shamrock.

St. Patrick's Day Stamping

I've seen all these cute ideas for letter stamps lately. 

I thought it might be fun to use our St. Patrick's Day Stamps in green play dough.  

Sunshine struggles with hand and finger strength. Perhaps this will help her develop those muscles a little bit more.

St. Patrick's Day Sensory Bin

Sunshine's not really a fan of sensory bins, but that doesn't stop me from trying them every so often. 

The base of this bin is dried split peas.  Included are four manipulatives that match our vocabulary activity, as well as other St. Patrick's Day items.

Sunshine did a fabulous job with her activities last month, asking for them almost every day.  

I'm hoping this month will go the same.  

I never have any expectations though.  She can be quite unpredictable at times.  

It's important to always keep learning fun!

Don't forget, it's important to make sure you can supervise your toddler while they're doing the activities above.  

I find it best to use the activities when I have one-on-one time with Sunshine. This way I'm able to ensure that she stays safe with all manipulatives etc.

I hope you have a fabulous St. Patrick's Day with your little one!
