About the st. patrick's day collection
St. Patrick’s Day pages are pure green-and-gold cheer. Shamrocks (three-leaf and four-leaf), leprechauns, pots of gold at the end of rainbows, Celtic knots, top hats, gold coins and a parade float or two round out the collection. They are a great way to introduce younger kids to a holiday they may not yet know much about.

We especially recommend the Celtic-knot pages for older students who appreciate a more intricate design. Pair the rainbow pages with a quick conversation about ROYGBIV — coloring becomes a sneaky way to drill the order of the colors of the rainbow.
Teachers planning a unit on this theme often pair these printables with their own lesson-plan packs to round out the activity block.
How to use these pages in the classroom
- Print a class set and run them as a quiet-time station after a lesson finishes early.
- Bind a small pack as a personalized activity book for a long substitute day or field-trip bus ride.
- Use one page as the centerpiece of a small-group conversation — what is it, who would use it, how does it work?
- Send a few home in a Friday folder for the weekend, especially the ones that connect to a current unit theme.
