St. Patrick’s Day Activity Collection

2/23/2022

0 Comments

 
This St. Patrick's Day Collection is perfect for all of your little ones! I made an elaborate maze with lots of things to discover along the way, simple rules, and little jokes. There is an enjoyable search and find in my original art style. Finally, there is a geometric coloring page. If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, this is a kid-friendly collection, easy to start, inexpensive, and fun!
​
I have been doing a lot of different kinds of projects lately, but recently decided that I should be more selective about what I make and what I share on social media outlets like Facebook or Instagram. As a result, I am putting a more significant focus on strengthening my products. Below are three activities that you will find in my St. Patrick's Day Collection.
St. Patrick's Day Collection, Search and Find

The Search and Find

Rated: Easy
"May you have all the happiness and luck that life can hold—and at the end of your rainbows ay you find a pot of gold." -Irish Blessing
This image is really filled with all the cliche symbols of St. Patrick's and luck charms. Beginning with a pot of gold and ending with a rabbit's foot (rabbit still attached, of course.) One of my favorite hidden charms is the four-leaf clover among a field of three-leaf clovers. As always, there are gags hidden about the image. In fact, the object of my search and finds is more about exploring the picture and everything in it than simply completing the item list.

Other things to look out for are a few charms with particular cultural significance. They may be obscure and hard to spot, so there's one for clever adults.
​
There are many things to find, enjoy, and color on this page.
St. Patrick's Day Collection, The Maze

The Maze "Pot of Gold"

Rated: Moderate
​
This maze is a little tricky in terms of the rules. However, your child does not need to follow the rules. Your child can simply go from start to finish, which is challenging enough. There is a locked door along the path, and you must first find the key to pass through it. For those who want an additional challenge, the gimmick I use here is that you cannot cross your own path.

The Coloring Page

Rated: Moderate

This coloring page is something more like a typical geometric pattern and image. I first drew the geometric pattern using symbols from the holiday. Then I drew a stylized unicorn in the center. The result is festive and fun for coloring in any medium.

How to Download and Use This Printable Collection:

  1. Purchase the collection through my Etsy shop.
  2. The download will be available immediately. However, the download is also open later if you sign in to Etsy.com. Go to Your Account, then click Purchases and reviews. Next to the order, select Downloads. Etsy will take you to a page for all the files attached to your order. There are 5 files, 3 activity pages, and 2 solutions pages. Do not print the solution for your child!
  3. Download the files and print what you want to use or open them in a drawing app from your digital device. If needed, I can send you other file types, so please reach out.
  4. The recommended printing size is 8-1/2 x 11. You can print on any thickness of paper. However, use good quality paper for the best results. Wet mediums require thicker paper over 120lb. Align paper properly for printing.
  5. Tell your child the rules. They will choose whether or not they want to follow them. Allow your child to explore the page freely. Children who can read independently do well with the rules of the maze, but younger children may find more enjoyment from simply exploring the pages with color.
  6. Let your child color the pages with whatever medium they prefer. Crayons, markers, and pencils do nicely.
