Decor

Sometimes its hard to find stuff that is safe for little ones. Thats when I just add some simply decorations in their room, playroom or even in the kitchen! Bonus you can save a lot fo these and put them up next year!

1.Festive Books

Board books are always a hit for little hands:

2.Soft & Cozy Goodies

3.Crafts

This Coloring Sheet! I use painters tape to secure to table/floor

4.Fun & Play Items

5.Basket

I like to use a more plain basket and add ribbons or bows so it works for multiple occasions! Also like that it comes with two sizes!

***How to Make It Feel Magical**

Want to level it up (without spending more)?

  • Sprinkle green paper “leprechaun confetti” around the basket

  • Leave tiny green footprints leading to the surprise

  • Add a little note from a leprechaun

  • Hide a small “pot of gold”

  • Toddlers especially LOVE the idea that a mischievous leprechaun stopped by overnight!
