Today the kids and I spent some time creating a Leprechaun trap to catch our little green elf that visits every year. "Lucky" the Leprechaun has been an annual visitor for several years now and he always leaves a trail of shamrocks leading the kids to a pot of golden candy (usually Rollos). This year, Quinn wanted to catch him, so it just so happened that a magazine I get, "Family Fun", had several ideas for such a trap and we used them to make one of our own out of a Girl Scout cookie box. I think it turned out pretty cute.
We used plastic poker chips to make steps to climb up the side and then a trap door on top with fake gold/silver (I know, you thought it was real) taped to the top so it wouldn't fall in the trap with Lucky. We'll have to wait and see if Lucky out smarts us now!
