St.
Patrick's Day Party Supplies
Whether you are having a
large St. Patrick's Day party or a small family celebration with
corned beef and cabbage...these supplies will add to the festivities.
How to Make Leprechaun Trap
Begin your celebration by building a Leprechaun trap.
My daughter made a trap in Kindergarten and we've continued the tradition for eight years. Start
by gathering your supplies. Items from around the house will do;
shoebox, glitter, pipe cleaners, markers, construction paper,
wrapping paper, glue stick, egg carton, tape etc. Your children
will love creating the design, from the bait to the trap. Our
favorites have usually involved a trap door.
Everyone knows that
leprechauns are quick and crafty….So you'll have to lure them in with bait…a piece of gold (chocolate coin), a penny
or a 4 leaf clover. My daughter lured her first leprechaun with Lucky Charms cereal!
Leave your trap out the night before St. Patty's Day and in the
mornin' see what's occurred.
It's been eight years and we've
never actually caught the leprechauns, but they always leave
little green foot prints and some chocolate coins behind.
