Monday Homeschool Coop Preschool

We celebrated St. Patricks Day a wee-bit early in coop. First we read, St. Patrick's Day by Gail Gibbons and I paused during the reading to introduced various activities that went with the book.

Play dough and the British Isle

I printed out an outline copy of and placed it into a protective sleeve, so that the green play dough would not stick. I told the kids to "build" the British Isle.

Sink or Float

For this activity, you need a plastic container filled with water (used spinach container), a rimmed plastic tray, objects to sink or float (We used broccoli, grape, plastic shamrock, green ring, and several animals.), and a sink or float chart placed into a plastic sheet protector.

This is Caroline and her Leprechaun ears.

We pinned the Shamrock on St. Patrick, too.

More Shamrocks

Using a plastic tray (dollar store) we sorted various sizes of shamrocks. We also made shamrock decorations with glitter and glue.
