I originally started my first blog, The Amazing Mess, in March 2010.  I posted several St. Patrick’s Day crafts, found out I loved blogging, and went with it!  These are some of the activities from those earlier days {and a few more recent}.

Here are thirteen St. Patrick’s Day Crafts, Snacks, and Activities for Kids:
