One of my friends plays the cutest trick on her first grade students on St. Patrick's Day.
While my daughter is too young for her antics, maybe you can take a page from her book.
Before your kids wake up or while they are napping, make a mess of their toys, books and other household things. When they notice someone has been tinkering with their toys, you can tell them that a naughty lil leprechaun has been scurrying around the house. They'll delight in the surprise and mischief.

To further the Irish celebration, whip up some green eggs and milk. Grab a bottle of green food dye at your local grocer. At breakfast, plop a few drops of the emerald juice into their milk. To make green eggs, watch the demonstration on the video clip below.

I'm sorry, this is sooo crazy to me! I like the mischief but um...I would have FREAKED OUT if my mom had told me that a little green guy f'd with my toys...and turned our milk green!
