In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, these Lucky Charms Treat Bags are perfect for classmates to enjoy. This is such a simple project, so making a bunch for a whole class won’t take too long, especially if you get the kiddos in on the fun. I’m always a fan of free child labor when it comes to crafts! If you enjoy using your Cricut machine, you could also make tons in a short amount of time. I also love that the materials are so easy to find. Even if you can’t find St. Patrick’s Day scrapbook paper, you could easily just use a different shade of green cardstock instead. As for the Lucky Charms, I used regular, but in the month leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, they usually have specialty boxes that could be fun to use.

    1. I’m so glad you liked it! They were a big hit for my son’s class. If you wanted to do a treat for Easter you could do Whopper Eggs and say “You’re a Whopper of a Classmate!”
