I filled a small sauce pan (black pot) with green tissue paper and poured gold Rolos in it and added three baggies of gold coins. Then I filled small zip lock baggies with skittles and rainbow licorice then cut glittery card stock to size and folded and stapled it over the zip lock closure. 
I told the kids that they have to wake up tomorrow clean their rooms and put on their green clothes because they are going on a treasure hunt to find a "POT O GOLD"... I wish I could of freeze framed their faces and got some pictures.... when they heard me say that! I also hope to video tape their hunt and share it with you all. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY- xo jen

I sure do hope you can video tape it! I would love to live vicariously through you and your kiddos for this!:)
I want to come and play at your house!
Such a fun idea!!
so fun! love the rainbow clue cards!!
Oh that is SO cute! I may have to run to the grocery store tonight and try this! Thanks so much for sharing! That's awesome!
Tomorrow will be our 3rd annual st. patty's treasure hunt. My kids love it and consider it another holiday like valentines and halloween in our house, it's hilarious. They will even ask throughout the year how long until st. patricks day! It really doesn't take much time or money to create some fun memories for your kids. hope they have a blast tomorrow!
I am doing something similar for my girls, but they will be following some rainbow ribbon. I love the clues, though. Makes it more of a treasure hunt. Awesome!
I feel like I am the only person on Earth that doesn't do anything for St. Patrick's Day! :/ But this is dang cute and could change my mind...
Thanks for sharing! :)
That is such a great idea. I know the kids are going to love the hunt. :)

This is so cool! Very clever!
Oh this is to cute!! I'm sad to say I did not make one St. Patrick's decoration/goodies this year. Good thing my kids aren't old enough to realize. lol
What a great idea! You are such a good mom!!
If my kids (who are no longer kids) were to read this, they would be wishing you had been their mother!

Very cute! Happy mid week to ya!
Oh how darling! I'm not a big St. Patrick's Day celebrator over here, but that is too stinkin' cute and may just turn me! Great job!
