You will need plenty of green crayons, markers, or colored pencils to complete these free St. Patrick's Day coloring pages for kids. You'll also need all the colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Do you know why?
The holiday of St. Patrick's Day comes from Ireland. This country is called "the Emerald Isle" because its grass is so green. The clover is also a symbol of the holiday, and its leaves are green.
Rainbows are another symbol of the holiday because of the legend that leprechaun treasure could be found at the end of a rainbow.
But long ago, St. Patrick was associated with the color blue instead of green.
So, get ready to use all your crayons to color these pictures.
