Grown-up Tip: Don’t just wear your green, eat your green! Do you have trouble getting your child to eat their greens? St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect opportunity to play on the color of the day with food. Fill a muffin pan with various healthy green foods like celery, cucumbers, avocados, and more. Tell your child that they will be tasting leprechaun food. This will inspire your child to eat healthy and have fun!
