Last year, to celebrate St. Patty's Day we made a leprechaun trap that we set out on the eve of St. Patrick's day. We have a naughty little leprechaun that comes out each year that we wanted to catch and steal his gold. We weren't successful; he avoided the trap. But, he did leave us some chocolate.
The boys had so much fun that they insisted that we make a trap again this year. We did. It is now a fun family tradition. I let the boys design the trap this year. We decorated a box to be a pirate hideout. Anakin Skywalker drew a treasure map that we placed inside the box to lure the leprechaun into the trap.
I love this map. He is still learning to read. I thought he did a great job of sounding out words all by himself.
The kids have a great time making these traps with me. Its a fun easy craft that we can do together. Have you made any leprechaun traps lately?
