St. Patrick’s Day Craft Kit Giveaway
Feb
St. Patrick's Day (March 17) is on a Sunday this year. Yay! That means we'll have a weekend day to celebrate with our families! We have a fun St. Patrick's Day craft kit that we are giving away. The kit is a great way for preschoolers, kindergarten, and elementary school-age children to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
St. Patricks Day is a holiday filled with fantasy and fun. Some tips for those of you who want to brush up on St. Patrick's Day origin and festivities:
- St. Patrick's Day is Ireland's national holiday and is an annual feast day celebrating the patron St. Patrick
- St. Patrick was credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish
- The holiday has also become popular in the U.S. where people where green and eat corned beef and cabbage, as the Irish do!
- Shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold, and leprechauns are also associated with St. Patrick's day.
- The three petals on shamrocks symbolize the lucky number three, which is Ireland's magic number, and are supposed to bring good luck.
- Leprechauns are small Irish Fairies who spend all of their time making shoes and store their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is said that if you catch a leprechaun, he must grant you three wishes (which could include finding out where he hides his pots of gold).
- Wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns who will pinch you if they see you.
