When I was young one of my favorite activities was coloring.  When my son was young I gave him some coloring books and we colored together once in a while, but he never really took to it.

There are many free coloring pages you can print out on the internet. I think it would be a great idea to print out some coloring pages, on whatever theme you choose, and then have the kids color them, date and sign them and put them together into a little booklet to treasure.

Here are a few free coloring links for St. Patrick’s Day to get you started:

• At  Craft Elf:  Shamrocks and Happy St. Patrick’s Day .
• At Kaboose: Jolly Leprechaun, and  Leprechaun with Pot of Gold
• At Funschool: Name that Leprechaun and Pot of Gold.
• At Activity Village.co.uk:  Smiley Shamrock, Happy St. Pats and More. You will need Abode  Reader to print these pages out.
• At Coloring.ws: Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Pot of Gold on Rainbow .
• At The Coloring Spot: Four Leaf Clover and Leprechaun with Pot of Gold.

So, get those crayons and markers out and have fun coloring together.

Happy Coloring!!

Today while browing the internet I came across Vintage Image Craft.com where I found  St. Patrick’s Day Pins and Pendants you can make using Vintage Images (pdf file).  Also there is a St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Decoration you can make using more Vintage Images (pdf file).

And at A Fanciful Twist there are instructions to make a glittery shamrock pin to wear on St. Patrick’s Day.

At Wordplay I found many links to free clip art that you could use to make cards and decorations for St. Patrick’s Day.
