I had the best intentions of stocking up on some St. Patrick’s day stuff for my dramatic play area when I went to the dollar store a couple of weeks ago, and I did end up buying a few things – some Leprechaun hats and shamrock sunglasses – but what I really wanted were some mardi gras-type necklaces, and call me cheap but I couldn’t bring myself to spend $1 on two necklaces.  Anyway (I promise that I really do have a point..) today we made green necklaces to wear on St. Patrick’s day. We use beads often, so I really didn’t think that this activity would attract that much…
