Shamrock Sandwiches

• Serve green finger sandwiches. Make green bread from thawed frozen bread dough. Knead green food coloring into the dough until it reaches the desired shade of green. Form the dough into two loaves and bake as directed on the package. Once cooled, slice the loaves and use the bread slices to make your sandwiches. Cut out shamrock shapes from the sandwiches with a shaped cookie cutter.
  
  

Clover Crackers

• Use a 3-lobed green pepper to make healthy cracker treats for the preschoolers. Choose a small pepper that is no wider than the crackers. Core and seed the pepper, and then slice it into ¼ inch thick slices, which resemble a clover. Smear cream cheese onto the crackers, and then top each one with a green pepper slice. Cut small sticks from the leftover pepper to make stems on the clover topping each cracker.
  
  

Pot of Gold Cupcakes

• Turn homemade or store bought cupcakes into a pot of gold. Frost the cupcakes with green icing. Paint a rainbow across the top of the cupcake with colored decorator's icing. Arrange two or three chocolate coins on top of each cupcake. Alternatively, decorate a sugar cookie in the same manner as the cupcake.
  
  

Leprechaun's Gold Gelatin

• Make a batch of lemonade gelatin, either flavoring plain gelatin yourself or using the flavored variety. After the gelatin sets, cut it into small cubes. Cut a lime in half and scoop out the interior. Fill each lime half with the gelatin "gold," turning the lime into the pot of gold. If the lime halves don't stand upright on their own, slice of a thin bit of the peel from the bottom of each half. This makes the bottom flat so the lime stays upright.
