St. Patrick’s Day might technically be for the Irish, but it’s no secret that people everywhere love to celebrate the holiday.
With rainbows, four-leaf clovers, and gold galore, St. Patrick’s Day is a super fun, relatively low-key holiday for the wee little ones.
And if you’re anything like me…You love to surprise your babies with a little something special without going all Real Housewives about it.

Fun and Festive Wearables
Most little ones have fun dressing up for special occasions for school, and naturally Target doesn’t disappoint.
Have you heard of Cat & Jack from Target? They have some of the cutest and unique clothing for kids, so it’s no surprise that they’ve come out with some adorable St. Patty’s Day goodies, too. I love this “Lucky” shirt for boys and this four-leaf clover pullover for girls. I’ve found that this line uses quality materials so consider sizing up so they can use it next year too!
There’s also this witty one for boys or girls that says “Here for the Shenanigans.”
