A Lucky Breakfast
Looking for a little something thoughtful to do for the kiddos on Saint Patrick’s Day? This is what I have planned for my girls – a little simple St Patricks day food! This will be an extra special treat to wake up to because they never get to have “sugary” cereal for breakfast (it’s dessert in our house!).
Glass jars filled with green milk (of course!). Cupcake liners filled with Lucky Charms cereal. On the breakfast tray, I’ve placed a little love note to my two daughters that reads “I’m over the rainbow in love with you girls.” **UPDATED to include printable sign (end of post).
In each jar, a yellow and white striped paper straw.
A close up of the cereal cups and also mini cupcake liners filled with donut holes. What more could a lucky leprechaun ask for?
- Glass bottles, paper straws and cupcake liners from Sweet Shop LuLu

Many of you wanted to print the sign I created so I have included it here. The original one, plus a couple variations (to fit your needs!). Enjoy :)
“girls”
“you”
“We”
Right click & save one of these images. Then just open up in a word doc (or similar program) and print.

Adorable – any chance you might “share” the sign with us? Too sweet! My girls are 18 & 20 and will be having this next week before they leave for a day at college! LOL!
What a cute idea!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you share your ‘note’ with us! It is too precious!
soooo darling!!
You asked! So, I’ve updated the post to include the image should you want to create your own sign! Have fun :)
These are BEYOND adorable!! What a brilliant idea and execution!!
Thank you for sharing your sign. I will definitely be using – esp since it is my daughter’s birthday 3/17!
Oh these are so cute,
Love this, so cute Tori!
my two little ones are going to love this!! Thank you!
I love this idea. I borrowed it for my son (age 8). He really enjoyed it!!!! Thanks for sharing
Glad to hear he liked it Carrie!
Did you just put food coloring in the milk?
Yep- you got it Erin :)
I LOVE this idea! I don’t even have kids, but I’m going to make this for my husband on St. Patrick’s day because we, too, only keep sugary cereal in the house as dessert (hence why we call it “dessert cereal”). It’ll be fun to have some with green milk for breakfast!
This is ADORABLE, Tori!
I love this!! How’d you make the green milk… just food colouring??
Love this post. Many thanks for the printable! :)
Any chance you could do this with “in love with YOU KIDS”? A little more inclusive for a big family of boys (2) and girls (4). :)
Thank you for sharing these cup cake tins….think the girls will love them….
Very nice idea for making some day special for your love one.I like that colorful note.Thanks for sharing it with us.
What size of milk bottle did you use? I am absolutely in LOVE with that LULU shop!
Where did you find the adorable straws??
Thanks for sharing!! So cute!
Oh my goodness… too cute! I’ll be doing this for sure!
Simple and cute! Love it! Thanks so much for providing the printable!! I just picked up some chocolate gold coins at Target’s dollar spot earlier this week. They will be perfect to put with the sign for my kiddos!
Did you put green food coloring in the milk? Or is it flavored?
We, too, do green milk and Lucky Charms for breakfast on St. Paddy’s Day! Thanks for saving me the effort of posting about it! Ha!!! Your printable is DARLING. I’ve pinned this and will be linking to it in my St. Patrick’s Day round-up either today or tomorrow. :)
Aloha,
Charlie
Which cupcake liners did you use? From browsing the site, it looks like I need to get the pick-a-mix. Is that right?
This is fantastic!!! I hope you will link up to my St. Patty’s Day Project Parade.

Hi Adrianne, I just used whatever I had in my kitchen. Just basic cupcake liners ( I doubled them up to make it a bit more sturdy).
Such a cute idea!!
Love your idea. It’s super simple and I love the free printable. Thanks for including it! I have included this in my St. Patrick’s Day Roundup.

I linked and pinned a couple of your posts on my blog for a St. Patrick’s Day Favorites Pinterest Roundup.
This is such a cute idea!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!! I would love to feature it on my site at http://www.prekfun.com .
It is a curriculum resource for Early Childhood Ed. professionals and Parents. Let me know if this would be okay.
I will be glad to post a link back to your blog beneath your photo. Once your idea is posted, I will send you a “Featured on Pre-K Fun” image that you can add to your blog if you would like as well.
Thanks!
