How do you plan to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Rolling in shamrocks or searching for the rainbow? Want to make a shamrock bracelet for your favorite leprechaun? Come on over—we've got them here! Here are 3 fun Skoolzy product ideas to get you going!

March 17 has been a special day for the Irish for over a thousand years! Why? It's St. Patrick's Day! Patrick was a teacher, a missionary, and he helped a lot of people in the church. Shamrocks, leprechauns, rainbows, and a pot of-gold are also a part of St. Patrick’s Day. Don't go looking for a rainbow or a leprechaun, though—they are hard to find! But we have some for you right here! We've come up with some activities for you that celebrate the rainbow and the shamrock. You will have so much fun you might just find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Don't forget to wear green!
