It's been a while since I've shared some printable coloring pages, so I'm super excited to be sharing these Cute Printable St. Patricks Day Coloring Pages with you!
St. Patrick's Day is March 17th!
If you love fun coloring pages, today is your lucky day. These free printable St. Patrick's day coloring pages are absolutely adorable and I think they're the perfect way to celebrate the holiday!
I love sharing free printables and free coloring pages with you…especially when they're holiday themed. And while it may seem like coloring is something that little preschoolers do to improve their fine motor skills, it's also a great way for older kids (or kids of all ages) to relax and decompress.
The Benefits of Coloring
While you may not get quite as much joy from coloring as you do from finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, there are still lots of benefits you can get from coloring. Plus, it's a fun activity that can be enjoyed by younger kids and older kids…even middle school kids and high school kids enjoy coloring.
I think it's the perfect way to unwind while chatting with my kiddos, but check out these other benefits of coloring!
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Coloring can help calm the part of your brain that handles fear and stress, making you feel more relaxed.
- Improves Focus: Engaging in coloring requires concentration, which can help improve your attention span and focus on other tasks.
- Enhances Creativity: Coloring encourages creative thinking as you decide on colors and how to fill in designs, boosting your ability to think creatively in other areas of life.
- Improves Fine Motor Skills: The act of coloring can help improve hand-eye coordination and the dexterity of your fingers and hands.
- Helps with Mindfulness: Coloring can bring your attention to the present moment, acting similarly to meditation by helping you feel more grounded and mindful.
- Can Improve Sleep: Unlike screen time, coloring doesn't involve blue light exposure, which can interfere with sleep. Coloring before bed can help relax your mind and lead to better sleep.
- Encourages Positive Thinking: Choosing colors and completing a picture can boost your mood and encourage a more positive outlook.
- Provides a Social Outlet: Coloring in groups, whether with family or friends, can be a social activity that fosters connections and communication.
- Can Help with Recovery: For those recovering from illness or dealing with health conditions, coloring can be a soothing activity that doesn't require physical strain.
These benefits show why coloring is a valued activity not just for kids but for people of all ages.

There are 17 coloring sheets in this pdf file. You can print the whole file off at once or just choose a page or 2. If you plan on printing lots of coloring pages at home, you may want to consider a laser jet printer. It’s so much cheaper to print with one.
While I love coloring with crayons, my preferred method of coloring is with colored pencils. It’s so much easier to color in those smaller detailed areas. They're perfect for creating colorful rainbows and coloring the tiny pieces of gold in the pot at the end of the rainbow.
You can use any colored pencils, but my favorites by far are these colored pencils. They’re more expensive, but they color amazingly and they last a lot longer than regular colored pencils.
If you have little kids who will be coloring, I recently discovered these awesome colored pencils for kids. They’re very similar to the ones I love, but a whole lot cheaper. And since little kids aren't as careful with coloring supplies, I think this is a better option for them.
