Free Printable Shamrock Templates (includes green shamrocks!)

  • Share

These free printable shamrock templates are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day crafts! They’re ideal for decorating, preschool crafts, or even for use as coloring pages. There’s even a green shamrock template to print and use so you don’t have to buy construction paper. I hope you enjoy!

Last year I shared four leaf clover templates, so this year I thought I’d make some classic Irish shamrock templates with three petals.

The three leaf clover, or shamrock, is a traditional symbol of Ireland. According to legend, St. Patrick used it to help teach the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost).

Fascinatingly, this legend seems to have appeared in the 1500s…over 1000 years after St. Patrick was alive! By the 1700s, shamrocks were frequently worn on hats and clothing to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Even if St. Patrick didn’t actually use shamrocks as a teaching aide, they’ve been used a symbol of Ireland for centuries. When Irish immigrants to the US were unable to find shamrocks, they began substituting the color green during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Today, shamrocks and the color green are universally recognized as symbols of Ireland.

I hope these shamrock templates help you celebrate the day with your family or classroom!
