By lucky December 06, 2018 Edit

St. Patrick's Day is 1 of my favorite holidays to celebrate amongst kids because it is pretty depression fundamental as well as I don't accept to laissez passer on my kids anything. I also absolutely honey that it is associated amongst rainbows because during this rainy fourth dimension of twelvemonth where nosotros alive the rainbows brand things a fleck to a greater extent than cheery!

This calendar week nosotros decided to brand our ain rainbow as well as hunt for golden to fill upwards up our large pot! We matched numbers 1-15 piece nosotros played!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

circle arts and crafts punch
yellow cardstock
black cardstock
scissors
painters tape
black Sharpie
Do-a-dot markers
large ringlet of paper

DIRECTIONS:

You tin brand this every bit fancy or every bit uncomplicated every bit you lot would like! We started yesteryear rolling out a large canvas of newspaper as well as drawing a rainbow amongst do-a-dot markers. Next nosotros cutting out a pot from dark newspaper as well as taped it nether the rainbow.

Lastly nosotros drew spots for 15 golden coins as well as numbered them 1-15.

After that nosotros used out arts and crafts circle punch to cutting out 15 yellowish circles from yellowish cardstock. We numbered the circles 1-15.

After all of the materials were railroad train I hid the "gold coins" some the family as well as the kids started hunting for them!

They worked together to discovery the coins as well as tally them to the right spots on the rain/pot o' golden board.

Once they matched all xv coins hence they took turns hiding them again. We played this game hiding as well as matching 1 time again as well as 1 time again as well as again!

I loved watching how my kids worked together every bit a team. It was also fun to come across where they hid things. My 3-year-old would oft enshroud an entire stack of coins inwards 1 spot. Over fourth dimension he learned to a greater extent than creative ways to infinite them out as well as enshroud them every bit he watched his older sister.

This was a peachy means to practise counting as well as let out recognition. For littler kids you lot tin but skip the numbers as well as but hunt for the golden coins... as well as tally them to the blank circles!

We did a similar number golden hunting activity amongst felt a few years ago.
