St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Kids Activity & FREE Printables!

Can you believe today is the first day of March? Last month flew by, but I am SO excited Spring is on its way! The first day of March means St. Patrick’s Day is on its way too, and today I’m sharing a super fun St. Patty’s Day Scavenger Hunt you can do with your kids!
St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt Activity and Free Printables by Love Grows Wild

I first saw the idea for this cute scavenger hunt on Pinterest from The Crafting Chicks. I don’t go overboard celebrating or decorating for the small holidays, but I thought my boys would have so much fun with a little scavenger hunt to celebrate their Irish heritage!
St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt Activity and Free Printables by Love Grows Wild
Start by printing the “lucky” clues I created. There are 3 pages of clues so make sure you print each one. You can find them all here:
St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Clues 1
St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Clues 2
St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Clues 3

Next, cut each page in half to separate all the clues and roll them up. Tie a a string or ribbon around each clue to hold in place.

Now get a small container and fill it with treasure for your little ones to find! I found this green basket at Dollar Tree and loaded it with lots of gold candies like peanut butter cups, caramel candies, and Rolo’s. I even found a $1,000,00 bill chocolate bar to add to the “pot of gold”!

Now it’s time to hide the clues! Clue #2 goes in the refrigerator:

Clue # 3 goes in a shoe:

Clue #4 goes by a door:

And the last paper and the treasure go on your child’s bed:

Now give your kiddos the first two pages: the scavenger hunt instructions and clue #1. Tell them a leprechaun came to visit, and watch them find their treasure!

I’d love to see your photos! Happy St. Patrick’s Day : )

I’m going to use this for Young Womens and want it to take a little bit longer. If you can please email them to me at [email protected] I’m no where near creative. Thanks again!

My suitcases are looking awfully lonely lately, and I’m getting the itch to take the boys somewhere... ANYwhere. I’d take a road trip and some sunshine and a change of scenery in a heartbeat. Anyone else feeling ready for spring and getting that travel bug?

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!
