Simple Budget-Friendly Toddler St. Patrick’s Day Activities

If you are looking to celebrate March with a few simple Budget-Friendly Toddler St. Patrick’s Day activities, this is the post for you. Read to learn more about five simple activities I did with my toddler this week that were cost-efficient, memorable, and fun!

Activity 1: Felt Shamrock Scavenger Hunt

Materials needed: felt (or paper) shamrocks, a basket or container (I got mine from Dollar Tree but you can find them on Amazon as well!)

Instructions: Simply spread the shamrocks throughout your house or a designated room and have your toddler search for them. Depending on your toddler’s age, it may be helpful to model this activity first.

Benefits: This activity helps enhance problem-solving skills to locate hidden items. Scavenger hunts can also help improve children’s cognitive abilities and boost their confidence!

I think sometimes as parents we overthink activities for kids, but we can make it really simple. I found these cute shamrocks at Dollar Tree, and I decided to use them for a scavenger hunt around the house for my daughter. This is so simple but she had a lot of fun. If you don’t wanna buy anything, you could even just cut out green shamrocks or other shapes and have a scavenger hunt with those.

Activity 2: Rainbow Matching with Colored Popsicle Sticks

Materials needed: colored popsicle sticks, colored paper

Instructions: This activity is so simple but so good! Lay out your colored construction paper on the ground in rainbow order. Show yourself matching the popsicle sticks with the colored paper. Have your toddler try it!

Benefits: This activity helps with color recognition and fine motor skills. Plus, children get so excited when they match the colors correctly! This is one of my favorite simple budget-friendly toddler St. Patrick’s Day Activities!

I found my popsicle sticks at Dollar General, but you can also order them on Amazon.

My daughter had a lot of fun with this activity, but it did take some modeling at first. Once she understood the concept, we were good to go! Watch the TikTok below to see how it went!

This simple rainbow toddler activity can be used so many different ways. I used popsicle sticks and construction paper, but you could also gather a bunch of items of different colors and have your child put them in the correct piles. This activity was so much fun for both me and my toddler and it was really easy to clean up. It helped her identify colors, practice her fine motor skills, and also develop self confidence!
