SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17th. In Ireland it is both a holy day and a national holiday. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland as he was the one who brought Christianity to the Irish. According to legend, Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain about God. The shamrock, which looks like clover, has three leaves on each stem. St. Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity – that in the one God there are three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The shamrock was sacred to the Druids, so St. Patrick’s use of it in explaining the trinity was very wise. Although it began in Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in countries around the world. People with Irish heritage remind themselves of the beautiful green countryside of Ireland by wearing green and taking part in the festivities. St. Patrick’s Day is usually celebrated with a parade. The one in Dublin, Ireland is known to some as the Irish Mardi Gras. But the one in New York is actually one of the biggest. It lasts for hours. Two Irish wolfhounds, the mascots of the New York National Guard infantry regiment the “Fighting 69th”, always lead the parade. More than 100 bands and 100,000 marchers follow the wolfhounds in the parade.

Here's how you can  make a lucky leprechaun, complete with growing hair!

WHAT YOU NEED:
  • 5-inch styrofoam cup
  • Planting soil
  • Grass seed
  • Green construction paper
  • Black construction paper
  • Wiggly eyes
  • Black marker

WHAT TO DO:
.
You need to put the dirt in the Styrofoam cup, then put in your grass seed. Cover the grass seed by gently mixing it with your finger. Water your grass so it will grow. This will become your leprechaun's hair. Wipe off the outside of your cup. Cut a Leprechaun hat out of the green and black construction paper. Glue the hat at the top of the Styrofoam cup being careful not to cover the top where the grass will grow. Glue on the wiggle eyes. Also, with the green construction paper, cut out some leprechaun ears, then glue them on the each side of your cup. Use a black permanent marker to draw a nose and mouth. Now, simply water and watch as your leprechaun grows it's own hair!!! A great science and fine motor activity.
