how to catch a leprechaun story

1. Spray paint an old shoebox and it's lid green. If you have some green craft paint laying around, go ahead and use that, and let your kids go to town. Let dry completely.

2. Decorate the box with fun rainbow stickers.

2. Attach clear string to a small “pot of gold” and the other end to a wooden stick. You can purchase these kettles at most stores in their St. Patrick's Day section. Or, check out a craft or party supply store since these are often used as party favors.

For a more eco-friendly route and extra bonding time, you could also make your own ‘pot of gold' using an old soda bottle!

3. Place moss in the shoebox lid. Using the ‘pot of gold' wooden stick, prop open the shoebox to make a trap. Simple, cute, and effective!

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This book looks super cute. Also, my daughter decided to make a leprecaun trap yesterday by taking a new box of tissues and dumping it out and using the empty box to catch a leprecuan.

    OK, I love this idea, lol. And, the book would be a fun read with a young reader. It’s nice to have a ‘tradition’ around a holiday that doesn’t have a lot of traditions other than getting drunk on green beer and trying to dye a town body of water green, too, lol. I think this holiday could use a new tradition centered around kids.
