Each year as a child, did you dread the thought of being pinched, or were you the one devoted to spotting those who were not wearing green? Thankfully, there are many fun ways to celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day with your preschooler that are not painful for anyone involved. Here are a few fun ways to celebrate with your preschooler this year:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy sensory play together.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your preschooler, you can dye rice to make the theme color of St. Patrick\u2019s Day! You only need a few supplies (uncooked rice, green food coloring, vinegar, and a lidded container for mixing). For added fun, find green items from around the house to use in the finished sensory bin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each batch, use one cup of rice mixed with \u00bd a teaspoon of vinegar. Add as much green food coloring as desired. Be ready to shake, shake, shake. Using a lidded container, mix until the rice absorbs the food coloring. It may take additional time to properly dry. Make as many batches as desired, and your preschooler can play around with making different shades of green.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your preschooler moving around!\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take advantage of this holiday to involve additional movement into your preschooler\u2019s day. Whether you prefer to be indoor, outdoor, or both, set a timer and have your child run around looking for as many green things as possible in your desired amount of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend time reading St. Patrick\u2019s Day themed books together. Examples include:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day, Curious George<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by H.A.
