St. Patrick’s Day Activities and Crafts for Young Kids

March 17th is officially the given day to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day, which is marking the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. While most people don’t really focus on the history of St. Patrick’s Day it is a holiday that is so much fun to celebrate.

Most people celebrate the day by wearing green, drinking green drinks, and eating green foods.
