Hey earth muffins! When I was growing up, a silly little “leprechaun” would cause havoc around the house on St. Patrick’s Day… Just like Santa or the Easter Bunny, I would look forward to his arrival each year. Now that I’ve grown up, I still like to cause a bit of mischief for old times sake – and you can too! Plus, these shenanigans can also be eco-friendly and low-impact on the planet too. Keep reading for the best sustainable leprechaun tricks to play this St. Patty’s Day!

~Turn a few things green!

A classic leprechaun trick is to dye the milk green. Who remembers opening the fridge and seeing green milk for their cereal??! While most people opt to use food coloring, you can also use natural dyes to avoid the plastic packaging if you don’t already have food coloring in your pantry. Spinch is an excellent way to dye foods green. You might want to opt out of the milk though (as spinach milk just doesn’t sound great…); but, there are plenty of other foods to dye instead. Get creative!
