For Saint Patrick's Day I crafted Seamus and Sean from Wee Folk's pattern. It was too cold outside to attend our local St. Paddy's Festival so instead we stayed home and listened to Irish music and read tales of Leprechauns. Here is a fun poem by Aileen Fisher for St. Patrick's Day from The Random House Book of Poetry for Children:
Wearing of the Green
It ought to come in April
or, better yet, in May
when everything is green as green-
I mean St. Patricks Day
With still a week of winter
this wearing of the green
seems rather out of season-
it's rushing things, I mean.
But Maybe March is better
when all is done and said:
St. Patrick brings a promise,
a green-all-over promise
of Springtime just ahead!
