Make Leprchaun Traps!

Whether your child already has made one or not...more leprechaun traps can always be fun.

All you need is an empty box, other recyclable materials, leftover craft supplies, and some tape.

We enjoy things from around the house like cans, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jar lids, anything green/sparkly/shiny/rainbow.

For Parents:

Make everything green with food coloring!
Water, toilet bowls, anything you can think of can be turned green,
Kids absolutely LOVE this!

Leprechauns like to be tricky and make messes and move things around.  Have some FUN!

Here are some fun leprechaun trap ideas for inspiration below:

​
Leprechaun Trap Example 1
Leprechaun Trap Example 2
Leprechaun Trap Example 3
Leprechaun Trap Example 4

SCIENCE ACTIVITY


Make green or rainbow volcanoes!

All you need is some baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring.
If you make them in small containers, the fun can go on for a while!

​I always like to thro​w in a little bit of science, too, and teach the kids that these are chemical reactions (when two or more things come together to make something new!).



Other fun ideas:

Finger paint shamrock shaped paper
Paint or color rainbows
​Follow a trail of glitter to a treasure in the backyard
Green sidewalk chalk outside

​

story, finger play, music & movement
