St. Patrick’s Day Snacks for Kids

I love surprising my kiddos with adorable treats… but searching Pinterest for creative ideas usually gets me lots of complicated ideas that are loaded with sugar!

While sweet treat can be fun, those gorgeous sugary ideas don’t work for my kids’ school parties for 3 reasons:

  1. Sugar overload! Our school is trying to reign in the sweet treats. Healthy snack alternatives are a must.
  2. Food allergies! A surge in food allergies means no homemade treats allowed. Cute ideas that keep foods in their original container are needed.
  3. Time commitment! I love making crafts but there is a limit to the hours in my day. I need fun treats that can be made in a few minutes.

St Patrick’s Day Snacks Step by Step instructions

How to Make Pot O’ Gold Fruit Cups

It’s simple to make these St. Patrick’s Day snacks. All you need is paper, scissors and a glue stick!

  1. Trace the top of a fruit cup to use as a pattern. (Use peach, mandarin orange, or pineapple fruit cups with a clear plastic lid to look like “gold.”)
  2. Cut a piece of colored paper or craft foam to make the lower cauldron/pot shape then cut a piece of colored paper or craft foam to make the lip of the pot.
  3. Use a permanent glue stick to attach the shapes to the fruit cup.
  4. Add a shamrock or heart shaped sticker to decorate the pot.

No class party? Add the St. Patrick’s Day fruit cups to your kids’ sack lunch or serve them for an after-school snack. Your kids will love the silly surprise, you’ll love the healthy ingredients!
