Before you dive into the fun, here’s a little trivia: Did you know that St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Britain in the late 4th century? Or that leprechauns are believed to be inspired by Celtic fairy tales? As you color, maybe you can whip up a traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and cabbage—just remember, if you want to stay true to Irish customs, you should opt for ham instead, as corned beef was an American twist for affordability.
