Quiet Time St. Patrick's Day Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

Ciara was a little girl who loved to listen. On St. Patrick's Day, she lay down in a field of shamrocks and put her ear to the ground. She wanted to know what a shamrock sounded like.

At first, she heard nothing. But she listened very, very closely. She heard the whoosh of the wind tickling the leaves. She heard the pitter-patter of a beetle's tiny feet walking on a stem. She heard the quiet thirst-thirst-thirst of the roots drinking water from the earth.

It was the quiet, happy sound of growing. Ciara smiled. It was the best music she had heard all day.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This coloring page is excellent for the 3-5 age group as it promotes a sense of calm and focus. The simple, large shapes of the girl and the shamrocks are easy to color, preventing frustration. The theme of listening and appreciating quiet moments is a valuable, calming concept to introduce to young, active children, especially during the excitement of St. Patrick's Day.
