St. Patricks Day Preschool style

It's really hard to explain what St. Patricks Day is to 3/4 year olds.  We read some stories, talked about how we are lucky, a little about Leprechauns.  So we did a craft, a coloring page, and then had some kitchen fun!

Cute, meaningful, and fun!

Next it was time to do some hands on learning.  I took green food coloring and butter and soaked popcorn kernels in them.  Then we made popcorn the old fashion way.  They each had turns turning the handle while the kernels heated up.  They were so excited when it finally started to POP!
