St. Patrick's Day coloring pages and crafts help children understand this holiday.
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated March 17 each year to honor Saint Patrick, who brought Christianity to Ireland. Legend says that Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland, but that is not literally true. The reference more than likely refers to him driving away the pagan beliefs of the Irish people. The snake or serpent was worshiped by Pagans. Therefore, the legend of the snakes is considered to be symbolic, not actually true.
It is believed that Saint Patrick died on March 17 so that is why St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on that day. Since the St. Patrick's holiday started in Ireland, on this holiday all things Irish are celebrated like shamrocks, being lucky, and the colors green and gold.
It is traditional to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, to eat Irish food like corned beef and cabbage, and for children to celebrate with St. Patrick's Day crafts like coloring pages and other crafts.

I don't know about you, but I love pencils. I'm talking about the old-fashioned cylinders of wood with lead (or graphite) inside, not mechanical pencils. Those things annoy me.
Wooden pencils are lovely: they feel good to hold, they are chewable (not that I chew on pencils but they give, making them desirable for people who enjoy chewing on objects), and writing with a pencil is just something I like to do.
Taking pencils to the next level with pencil crafts is even better! Take a look at the link below to see how Cathe at Just Something I Made used pencils to create this lovely pencil vase.
