Happy dog in leprechaun hat and shamrock bandana under a rainbow with a pot of gold.

Smiling St. Patrick’s Day Dog Under a Rainbow

A cheerful dog sits beneath a wide striped rainbow, wearing a buckle hat and shamrock bandana beside a pot of coins.

🎨 How to color it

Color the dog golden brown, the tall leprechaun hat bright green with a yellow buckle, the bandana light green, and the pot coins shiny gold. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the big rainbow bands, and don’t worry if little hands color over the bold lines. Try making each shamrock a different green so the dog looks surrounded by lucky confetti.

Finley’s Handmade Lucky Charm — Under the morning rainbow, Finley patted his plain bandana and set himself a challenge: make one lucky charm with his own paws before the clover fair bell rang. Read the full story →

Under the morning rainbow, Finley patted his plain bandana and set himself a challenge: make one lucky charm with his own paws before the clover fair bell rang. He trotted past wet grass that tickled his toes and gave his shiniest coin to a ribbon cart for one soft green scrap. Snip, fold, pat—his paws got sticky with paste.

Back by the coin pot, Finley pressed three clover leaves onto the ribbon and tied it at his neck. It was lumpy. It was crooked. It was his. “I made it,” he whispered, warm as sunshine. Next time you spot the rainbow, can you find the charm Finley made after he patted his plain bandana?
