Buying St. Patrick’s Day toddler outfits for your child can be a fun way for them to take part in the celebrations. St. Patrick’s Day, also called the Feast of Saint Patrick, is an Irish holiday occurring on the 17th of March.
Originally the color associated with Saint Patrick’s Day was blue but over the years green became the favorite color because it is the color of shamrocks and the color of Ireland. Shamrocks are said to be associated with this holiday because St. Patrick used the three-leafed clovers to explain the Holy Trinity.
Originally celebrated exclusively as a religious holiday in Ireland, nowadays people of Irish descent (and those of non-Irish descent) gather in cities around the world to celebrate St. Patrick and the merriment associated with this day.
So whether you’re Irish or just Irish for a day, check out these cute St. Patrick’s Day toddler outfits to celebrate the occasion.

Unisex Toddler T-Shirts for St. Patrick’s Day
Zazzle is a great place to go looking for themed toddler t-shirts. Many artists display their work at Zazzle so there are lots of clever designs to choose from. Once you have found an image you like, you can choose the style of clothing you want it printed on, the colors and size you prefer and in many cases you can even customize the design. There are thousands of St. Patrick’s Day designs available at Zazzle and the two shown below are our favorites.
‘Erin Go Bragh’ St Patrick’s Day T-Shirt for Kids
‘Irish For a Day’ St. Paddy’s Day T-Shirt for Toddlers
The first t-shirt shows an Irish leprechaun holding a large shamrock and exclaiming ‘Erin Go Bragh’. This is Gaelic for ‘Ireland Forever’ and of course very appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day. The second t-shirt has an adorable leprechaun sitting on the words ‘Irish for a Day’.
Both t-shirts can be ordered in white (as shown) or a multitude of other colors. But the print shows up the best on the white or, if you want the entire t-shirt to be green, then the ‘lime’ green is also a great choice. The links above go directly to the kids sizes which are XS (2 – 4 years), S (6 – 8 years), M (10 – 12 years) and L (14 – 16 years). You could also click the ‘apply’ button half way down the screen on the right to save a few dollars and be taken to the toddler sizes (2T, 3T and 4T). There are less colors to choose from in the toddler sizes but the white or the ‘mint’ color look great with these designs.
