St. Paddy’s Day Printables: Limerick Scavenger Hunt & Temporary Tattoos

Unbelievably, tomorrow’s the first day of March.  Despite my whining about the snow, it kind of caught me by surprise.  In fact, the only reason I noticed was because a few of my St. Paddy’s Day projects from last year have started to re-surface on Pinterest.  That’s yet another great thing about Pinterest, it’s a spot-on barometer of what the masses want.  And if Leprechauns and rainbows are it – who am I to argue?

I’ll have a few fresh projects this year as well, but today I wanted to share some of my greatest hits from last year.  First is a fun DIY temporary tattoo, because there’s little that kids love more than press-on tattoos and getting to hide stuff under their shirt.  Check out the original post for instructions and a free printable (which can also be used to make stickers).  Also, if you have older kids, why not consider encouraging them to design their own version on the computer?

Second is a small limerick scavenger hunt I put together for momtastic.  This is actually the very first post I wrote as a contributor there and, nearly a year later, it’s still one of my favorites.  I’m not sure yet if Leprechaun Pete will become an annual fixture in our home but he’s definitely making another appearance this year.

Also, this limerick hunt works great with a leprechaun trap – just leave the first clue inside!
