Biggrin Leprechaun Gold!

Gold coins to add a touch of magic to your St. Patrick's Day celebrations!

:clover: Stick one of each design together so you have a front and back.
:clover: Cut them out and if possible laminate.
:clover: Cut out again!!

Hide them in your sand tray or in a tray full of pasta shapes... then as the children are threading the pasta they can find the hidden gold as well!

Tell them that the coins are magic and that the leprechauns have hidden the gold !
Each time the children find a coin, have a special rainbow pot ready to collect them!
Include strips of tissue paper in the colours of a rainbow for the children to line and cover their newly found coins in the pot!
