This St. Patrick’s Day, surprise someone special (or a whole crowd) with these easy miniature Shamrock chocolate lollipop treats. These little treats are quick to put together and a big hit. Sometimes, my kids receive treats that are huge and then the sugar rush is a little out of control. These small sized lollipops are the perfect little snack for St. Patrick’s Day preschool, play dates, or parade crews!

St. Patrick’s Day chocolate lollipop treats:
We started with a handful of lollipop sticks
. I used a steak knife to cut the sticks into thirds. You will have a ton of lollipop sticks left over, but don’t worry. You can dye the lollipop sticks and use them for learning activities like shape building activities.

Pull out a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Arrange green chocolate chips
into groups of four. Pop them into a preheated oven set at 250 degrees F.

Keep a close eye on the chocolate chips. It will only take a minute or two for the chips to soften. You want them to just start to melt, but not too much. I used a toothpick to pull the tips into the center of the four chocolate chips. Place the lollipop sticks on the chocolate and slightly twist it so the stick is covered in chocolate.

is a fun book all about the colors we feel and how they are part of being “me”. Everyday is full of colors and so we decided to use those colors in our reusable calendar. We can see each day through the calendar and remember that we are always the same, no matter what color we feel. 
to write on the calendar and a paper towel to erase over and over again.
” and play a
in stores or played with it in the past. This foamy, moldable dough is so light and cool to play with! It’s really a fun sensory material. We made our floam dough with ingredients we had on hand and this is how we did it:
. We used filler from a pillow that was torn for our dough, but you could use bean bag filler as well which can be purchased in craft stores. You will want to add a bunch of the filler so the dough is mainly made up of the filler and held together by dough. It’s amazing to feel the dough “lighten up” as more filler is added.
, this is definitely a book you will want to check out. It’s colors, rhyming text, and body part-learning story is not only fun and engaging, it’s funny! My kids loved reading this book over and over again, and guessing the body parts that the little boy would paint next based on the rhyme of the text. We loved the “Ya ain’t-a gonna paint no more!” that the mom in the story yells after her son paints the house. When the boy starts to paint his body part-by-part, we loved the bright colors and yelling out the next body part. 
are ones that we love for their bright colors and semi-washability.
