To surprise my kids, I styled a St. Patrick’s Day table with festive treats and decor! My older kids loved coming home from school to discover the fun decorations and goodies!

All my decorations were the traditional St. Patty’s day theme with shamrocks, rainbows and gold coins! It was so easy to come up with St. Patrick’s Day themed snacks for kids.
