Leprechaun Traps

The children are determined to catch a sneaky leprechaun, this year! We made traps as a family tonight and the kitchen is covered in Lucky Charms, green construction paper, and a lot of gold glitter! 

Reese's trap is a goldfish box with leprechaun snacks at the top. The leprechaun climbs the rope, follows the gold path to the snacks, then falls through a trap door. 

Quincy's trap is baited with a note and a bucket of gold. The leprechaun follows the instructions on the note, "pull rope and gold will come down on you." But when the rope is pulled, the lid to the box closes and traps the leprechaun inside. 

Corbin's trap has a ladder up to a gold trail that leads to a big hole. There is a bucket of lucky charms dangling over the hole and when the leprechaun tries to eat it, he will fall in the hole and get stuck on a bunch of tape. 

No leprechauns were harmed during the making of this post, but a lot of Lucky Charms were eaten.
