Leprechaun Trap

We are on a quest to out smart the Leprechauns! They are smart and witty, but this Leprechaun Trap might just do the job!

According to legend, the night before St. Patrick’s Day, the Leprechaun comes out and causes all kinds of mischief. Trying to catch the Leprechaun can be tricky, so we have made 3 Leprechaun Traps to help you!

The kids will have such a fun time making the Leprechaun Traps, but the next morning is when the real fun starts! Lucky the Leprechaun has been making messes and causing lots of trouble throughout the house all night long, in his hunt for a few gold coins.

Each of the Leprechaun Traps Ideas use very simple supplies, some you may already have on hand. And they can be put together in minutes.
