Are you looking for a fun and easy St. Patrick's Day treat to make with your kids? Look no further! This recipe for pancake shapes is a great way to get the little ones involved in the kitchen and create some delicious treats. And the best part? It's super simple!

As a busy mom, I'm always looking for ways to keep things simple in the kitchen, especially when I've got a toddler under my feet all the time. That's why I decided to use pancake mix instead of making homemade buttermilk pancakes from scratch. This way, we can still have fun and enjoy some tasty treats without spending too much time in the kitchen.

My two-year-old is at an age where she loves helping me in the kitchen, and this recipe is perfect for her. She loves being able to help me mix and shape the batter into different shapes, like shamrocks and leprechauns. And of course, she's thrilled when we get to eat the finished product!

To make these pancake shapes, you'll need:

* 1 box of pancake mix

* 1 cup of water

* Food coloring (green works great for St. Patrick's Day!)

* A spoon or spatula for mixing and shaping

Instructions:

1. Mix together the pancake mix and water according to the package instructions.

2. Add a few drops of green food coloring to tint the batter green.

3. Use a spoon or spatula to shape the batter into different shapes, such as shamrocks, leprechauns, and more.

4. Cook the pancakes in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until they're golden brown.

5. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, like syrup, butter, or whipped cream.

This recipe is perfect for kids of all ages to help with, and it's a great way to get them involved in the kitchen and teach them about measurements and following a recipe. And who knows? You might just discover a new passion in your little one!

So go ahead, give this recipe a try, and have fun making some delicious St. Patrick's Day treats with your kids!
