Ask each child to bring in a
"green" food for a St. Patrick's Day Buffet. Put all the foods
on a big table and the children choose what they want for snack, from
among those "green" foods. The foods are endless--quite
creative! Some foods contributed in years past are: grapes, pickles,
olives, lettuce, green cookies and cupcakes, kiwi, green apples, celery, broccoli,
cucumber, pear, green juice, green jello, green pudding, etc...

Use refrigerated sugar cookie dough
-- put in a ziplock bag with a few drops of green food coloring -- let the
children squish it around until all the food coloring is blended --
refrigerate for 20 minutes or so (because their little hands warm up the
dough too much) Roll it out and use a large shamrock cookie cutter to cut
out cookies -- bake! While the cookies are baking -- soften vanilla ice
cream and smooth out in a pan to about 1/2 thickness - refreeze -- cut
same size shamrocks from the ice cream -- when the cookies are completely
cooled - make ice cream sandwiches with the cookies and ice cream.
