St. Patrick’s Day will soon be here! Take the opportunity to learn about the color green on this day. Wear green clothes, read “Green Eggs and Ham”, go on a green hunt… the possibilities are FUN!

I just received this link – offering you a free shamrock coloring sheet here – http://galesgifts.windhavenweb.com/printouts.html . It’s not your typical coloring sheet, and after visiting through Gale’s website, I realized why…

Click through her pages, and see how when you color certain sections of her coloring sheets in patterns, they create a very unique creation that is really pretty neat!

Gale was also kind enough to share a little background to the shamrock:

Saint Patrick is said to have used the three leaves of a shamrock to explain the three parts of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Just as the three separate leaves of the shamrock are part of one leaf, the three persons of the trinity are separate yet one.

While the shamrock has long been considered a symbol of luck, to those who believe in providence it can be a reminder of the One who guides what seems like chance.

— Isn’t that neat? I never realized there was a Christian take on St. Patrick’s Day! There’s a way to teach about the Lord all throughout His creation, even with this little leaf that we so often overlook.

Gale also has scribble print desktop backgrounds that she is selling to help with the Haiti victims. These have the same maze effect, and can be found here.
