To Catch a Leprechaun

You must have shiny things, shamrocks, and rainbows to catch a leprechaun!  We have completed two traps so far.  This is C's trap:
He designed it himself.  I only helped him fold the cardboard for his rainbow stairs. There is a slide to lure the leprechauns inside the trap.  Who can resist a slide?


R and I made this one together.  We covered a box with shiny aluminum foil and then put shiny green shamrock stickers all over the box.  I folded the cardboard to create stairs, and she colored them.  We put a shiny shamrock slide inside the trap.

We are thinking of making one more leprechaun trap together as a family because we have a great box that might guarantee success!  Now, how should we spend that pot of gold?

(C and R were featured on Natasha's News, the blog written by Natasha Wing, author of The Night Before St. Patrick's DayClick here to see them over there!)

Those traps look like fun. Anna expressed an interest in making a leprechaun yesterday - this remains to be seen :) If we make one of TP roll, we might play some catching games with him too :)

Okay any idea for tricks leprechauns might play? I"m so at a blank right now besides dying food.
Your traps turned out great!

Your traps are so colorful, bright and shiny.

C never ceases to amaze me:-).

You're making me feel like a slacker with all of the cool St. Patrick's Day stuff y'all have been doing.

I hope you do get that pot of gold!
