St. Patrick’s Day Lunch for Kids

Little Leprechauns are bound to love this delicious St. Patrick’s Day lunch whether they enjoy it at home or you pack it for them for school.

A fun St. Patrick’s Day lunch for hungry little leprechauns

St. Patrick’s Day Lunch Ingredients:

Sandwiches

• Whole wheat bread
• Cheese slices

Rainbow

Assorted fruit such as:

• Red: strawberries or raspberries
• Orange: cantaloupe, peaches, or clementine’s
• Yellow: pineapple, banana, or mango
• Green: kiwi fruit, honeydew melon, pears, or grapes
• Blue: blueberries
• Purple: grapes

Trail Mix

You can really add whatever you like to your trail mix, but this is what I included:

• Mini pretzels
• Mini marshmallows
• Cereal
• Raisins
• Choco Rocks – in green and gold

Prepare a cheese sandwich as you normally would, then using a shamrock shaped cookie cutter turn it into a fun St. Patrick’s Day inspired shamrock.

Gently combine the ingredients for the trail mix and serve in a separate container.

Lay the fruit out in order of the colors of the rainbow – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple (violet)

Note:  I found the green and gold chocolate rocks at Cost Plus World Market.
