A
leprechaun (
Irish:
leipreachán) is a type of
fairy in
Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief.
So before St. Patrick's Day this year 2012 I order a cute kids book that discusses how kids build and set traps to try to catch mischief Leprechaun's on St. Patrick's Eve for their gold. Well Kaitlyn was so ready to build her first Leprechaun trap after reading her this book.
I just happened to see this Leprechaun trap on a blog just days before. I thought it was super cute and I already had the supplies needed in my craft arsenal to make it.
Top view of the leprechaun trap. The plan- The leprechaun is suppose to climb the latter after reading the sign that their is gold at the top of the large Leprechaun hat. When he goes for the faux gold coin he falls through the fake material into the trap.
The leprechaun trap set and ready to catch that little guy and his gold. We had so much fun making this together and even the Hubby took part. When it was complete Kaitlyn was so happy she could not wait to show everyone whom came to visit.
So we did not catch a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day but he did leave us some chocolate gold coins.
The book warned you that Leprechaun's can be mischief little guys and I guess that is so true since are Dining Room got toilet papered, the toilet was dyed green and the milk also was turned green. Kaitlyn enjoyed ever minute of it and that is priceless!!!
