Leprechaun Madness
So when my little girl was in kindergarten… her teacher “might” have mentioned that you can try to catch a leprechaun by making a trap and he “might” leave behind chocolate gold coins… (hello!) … so I might have fallen into the magic of it all … I mean who could break the heart of their little girl and tell her that her teacher was off her rocker … I never thought I would be up the night before St. Patrick’s day…
but I am… until Little Man figures it all out…
Inspired by another blogger…
we made a couple of cute Leprechaun traps…
If it was you… shout yourself out in my comments and I will link you!
Apparently this hat idea came from Family Fun Magazine…
I used to get that … I loved it!
anyway… little man had so much fun making these traps!
and I will get to use that cute jar as a vase!!
its a keeper!
I love this “hat” trap!
we put a little ‘fools gold’ on the top….
after all…
they like gold you know!
apparently they know the difference between real gold and fools gold…
and they are smart little dudes …
and messy!!!
ugh!
how did he get in and OUT of this clever trap??
At least he left behind some yummy chocolate!
apparently the stuffing bugged him when he fell it….
he threw it all out of the hat before he climbed back out!
They always make a mischief ~ and leave behind a huge mess!
naughty leprechauns!
it usually involves toilet paper!!
at least he leaves behind chocolate to make up for the mischief!
Happy St. Patricks Day!

Too fun! My kiddos found the leprechaun in the fridge this morning with his pot of gold. It’s so fun when they’re old enough to do these things with them! 🙂

By the way your torn paper 4 leaf clover turned out super cute! 🙂

That is the cutest thing ever!
I love it!
I feel a new tradition coming on 🙂
St Patricks Day has never really interested me, with just wearing green, getting pinched, and drinking, but this is CUTE!!!

That looks like so much fun. I’m up for anything that involves finding chocolate!

Our leprechauns left chocolate too! …and confetti all over my “clean” floors…not!

I have a co-worker who does the same thing, but full scale. He uses his shed and makes it look like the leprechaun escaped! So cool!

You are SO CLEVER! My daughter loved things like this, too! Did you do stuff like this for St. Patty’s Day when you were little? We didn’t…yet my kids did in school…so we did at home… 🙂 It was fun, though…

This is SUCH a cute idea! My mom was not much into these smaller holidays, but the bloggy world has inspired me today and I am determined to make green food, catch mischevious leprechauns, and buy adorable green clothes for the kiddos…good thing I have a couple years to practice on hubs, ha ha!
Thanks for stopping by, Happy St. Patty’s day, and I LOVE your blog, such fun meeting new friends 🙂
