5BLARNEY STONE
Fun Fact: Did you know there’s a Blarney Stone here
in Dublin, Ohio? It’s located in front of Indian Run
Elementary. Take a photo with the Blarney Stone
and post it using #DublinIsHome.
Supplies
• Smooth clean river rock • Markers • Paint brush
• Green paint • Glue • Glitter, sequins, googly
eyes, yarn, etc.
Directions
1. Wash and dry a smooth, clean river rock. Make sure your rock is clean and dry.
2. Paint the rock green. Allow to dry.
3. After the paint is dry, decorate your rock using glitter, sequins, beads, plastic jewels, googly eyes, bits
of yarn, or other interesting items.
4. When the paint and glue are dry, add details (like eyebrows, etc.) using markers.
People think that KISSING the stone
will give them the “gift of gab” (making
them good at talking). In order to kiss the
stone, people have to lie on their back
and let their head hang back over a ledge.

8SHAMROCK FUDGE
A tasty treat to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! This simple
recipe will be a hit with the whole family.
Ingredients
• 1 jar vanilla frosting • 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts
• Green gel coloring • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Holiday sprinkles • Aluminum foil
Directions
1. Line an 8x8 pan with foil.
2. Microwave the frosting on 50% power until slightly runny (about 30-40 seconds). Stir in
peppermint extract and gel coloring. You want to make the frosting a little darker than
you want the fudge, as the chocolate melts it will lighten.
3. Microwave the candy melts on 50% power stirring every 30 seconds until almost
completely melted.
4. Gently stir the melts and the frosting together and spread into prepared pan. Add
sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes and cut into squares or with cookie cutters.
5. In this size pan, the fudge pieces are about ⅝” thick. If you would like a thicker fudge,
you can double the recipe.
