How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Goody Bags
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and I don’t know about you, but I love giving our kids treats on this day! I also love the idea of dressing up with some sort of green – whether it’s socks, necklaces, shirts or more! Over the past few years, I’ve loved putting together St. Patrick’s Day Goody Bags for our 6 kids! Not only is it fun, but it’s super easy and the kids love it!
How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Goody Bags
Pick out your bags and ribbons. First, you want to find some clear bags to include the goodies in. I actually got mine for free when I bought some of the chocolates at our local candy store. You can also find them in the cake decorating section at your local craft store. You’ll also want to get some ribbons to tie around the bag.
Choose some fun St. Patrick’s Day candies! I found some really cute candies at our local candy store. How cute are these Leprechaun chocolates?? I bought them for $1.35 each at See’s Candies. I think they add a lot of character and color to the goody bag. I also found some Shamrock shaped chocolates in green foil, as well as gold coins and chocolate suckers covered in gold wrap. Gold chocolate coins are a must – ya know, the gold at the end of the rainbow?
Choose some fun St. Patrick’s Day themed jewelry! I found these adorable green necklaces that say St. Patrick’s Day at Target in the dollar section. They were 2 necklaces for $1.00. I also found some fun glow-in-the-dark bracelets that were green, orange and yellow. The kids will have a blast with these!

Goody bags are a great idea. You definitely have to include some of those chocolate coins.
These are so cute. I am going to make one for my son and husband!
Our leprechaun always messes with our breakfast and leaves a little note. This year, I sense he will bring Lucky Charms!
These are such cute goodie bags! They would make great goodie bags to send to school with my kids for St Patrick’s Day.
This is such a cute idea and would be perfect for sending to school! I think I need to whip these up for my boys’ classes!

This is a great idea. I love making goody bags. They’re always a lot of fun to make.
I can’t believe it’s already St. Patrick’s day. These are perfect for the kids to make. I think we will make for the Irish grandparents.
Great idea I love this. its very creative nice i would like to try this.
Just a great idea. I will have to add some glow in the dark bracelets.
I love a great goody bag idea for holidays! I’ll have to do one with my kids this year
This is a great goody bag for St Patrick’s day. I will have to get the supplies so i can make some for the kids.
Walmart here in my town has some super cute St. Patricks Day things that would be perfect for these little bags!
My daughter got a goody bag like this today at school. She is loving those chocolate coins!
Such cute little trinkets! I found some fun things at a local party store recently. Our big ‘issue’ (wink) is the leprechaun who comes and rearranges furniture and turns the milk and toilet water green!
What a fun idea! This gonna be fun, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Love your goody bag idea.
I love the dollar store, if only for all the little toys and trinkets! My kids will get mainly those…and a few chocolates!
This is such a fun idea. I’m kind of bummed though, my son’s goes to a French school and I noticed they didn’t do anything for St-Patrick’s Day. I think it’s more in the USA that people celebrate that holiday.
Oh how nice! I totally love this idea. We have golden coins in our goody bags too!
These are so cute! My son didn’t have a St. Patrick’s Day party, but if he did these would have been perfect!
What delicious and festive candies! Makes a great goodie bag!
That looks like a really good treat I haven’t celebrated St. Patrick’s Day (ever) but I guess we’ll be starting next year! I love all the things you put in the goody bags (probably because they’re affordable). Haha.
