Many elementary schools celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a classroom party. Send in these treats for your child to share with his classmates.
Give each child a green carnation. You may wish to send in safety pins so that the teachers and class moms can pin these green flowers to the shirts of the children. You can also send bobby pins so the girls can wear them in their hair.
Shop in the holiday/seasonal aisles of the dollar store or craft store to find child sized plastic cups with a St. Patrick's Day theme. Often these cups will have a shamrock pattern. The cups can be given alone or filled with treats such as kiss candies and chocolate mints wrapped in green foil.
Drop a few kiss candies and gold wrapped chocolate coins into a St. Patrick's Day cellophane treat bag. Toss in some shamrock confetti and small curls of green ribbon. Add a poem that reads:
The Leprechaun sent this treat bag for you
To bring Irish luck all the year through
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you he wishes
with gold coins from his pot and Leprechaun kisses!
Line a pan with green cupcake liners. Bake a batch of cupcakes and decorate with green frosting and sprinkles. Wrap in clear cellophane and tie with green curling ribbon. These homemade treats are a treat the children can take home and enjoy after their St. Patrick's Day Dinner.

Use a shamrock cookie cutter to cut your sugar cookie dough into shamrock shapes. Place on cookie sheet as directed by recipe, leaving additional space between cookies on baking sheet to accommodate lollipop sticks. Insert a flat, wooden stick (purchase at craft store) one inch into each cookie and bake according to recipe. Allow cookies to cool and then wrap each cookie with clear cellophane and tie with green curling ribbon.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to the wee lads and lassies!
