With the big green holiday coming up here pretty fast, there are so many ways to get your kids excited. Make sure they are wearing green and have fun hats. St. Patrick’s Day happens to fall on a Sunday this year, so they will most likely be celebrating in class during the week leading up to the holiday weekend. One fun way to make to surprise your little ones is incorporating rainbows and greens in their lunches. I included these Rainbow Edible Crayons in DNH Girl’s lunch this week and they were a big hit!

Easy enough to make for her friends too. Here is how we made them:
Ingredients:
- Pretzel Rods
- Melt-able Chocolate
- Rainbow Construction Paper
- Black Sharpie
- Two sided tape
- Package of Rollos
I first took the pretzel rods and cut them down to 3 inch length.
Then you simply melt the chocolate and dip the ends of your pretzels into the chocolate and set on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Once you’ve dipped all your pretzels, into the fridge for the chocolate to set.
While the chocolate is chilling, you take your construction paper and I cut them into 2.5 inch width strips.
From there its just a matter of decorating them how you want. I went with DNH Girls name on a few. I love you on a few. Use the sharpie to fill in the lines. I used the two sided tape and taped the ends together around the pretzel. Add a few Rollos to the baggie and there you have rainbow edible crayons!
