How to Catch a Leprechaun

Every St. Patrick's Day we build a leprechaun trap to catch that little green rascal and every year he gets away!

 Not this year.

This is the year our daughter swears she WILL catch a leprechaun! 

I wanted to help her out with some detective work so I put together this "Catch a Leprechaun Kit" filled with all the essentials one would need to catch that shamrock-lovin' bandit. With the help of Oriental Trading, you can build an adorable kit your kids will have a blast with! 


What you'll need:


To catch that wee little fellow, you'll need a handy kit to keep everything in one place. This DIY lunchbox was the perfect size to hold all the leprechaun catching necessities. Click HERE to download the shamrock printable. Adhere the shamrock to the front of the lunchbox and you're all set to start filling up your kit!

I filled a cellophane bag with chocolate gold coins and plush rainbows and tied it all together with green baker's twine.  Print and cut out the leprechaun bait tag HERE and tie it to the bag. 



A little rainbow glitter notebook is the perfect way to record insights, thoughts, ideas, questions, and observations about those little green guys.

The lucky leprechaun binoculars craft kit is a fun activity for the kids to put together. Once it's ready to go, the little detectives will be on their way to spotting those tiny creatures!

While the St. Patrick's Day sleuths will be following clues to catch a leprechaun, they'll be needing a place to put the evidence. From gold dust to green glitter, there's bound to be evidence that needs to be labeled and placed somewhere for safe keeping. These shamrock-shaped favor containers are a perfect fit to collect all the proof that leprechauns are real!

St. Patrick's Day Treat Box


I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day with kids. From building a leprechaun trap to having an entire breakfast colored green. It's so fun to see the excitement and wonder in their eyes as they wake up the morning of St. Patrick's Day to see if they caught a leprechaun while they chow down on green pancakes and sip green milk. 

Even if we don't catch a leprechaun, those little gnomes always leave a good luck gift for the kids. 
They're quick and easy to put together, so let's get started!

Supplies used:
Chocolate Gold Coins
Skittles
Bakers Twine


Fill a small tube with Skittles or any kind of rainbow candies. Tie several strands of bakers twine  around the goodie basket handle and favor tube. 

Download the rainbow printable HERE and attach it to the front of the box. 


Fill to the brim with chocolate golden coins, Rolos or any other gold candies you can think of. 


And there you have it! Quick and simple leprechaun goodie bags for the kids. Won't they love waking up to a pot of gold? I know I would!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and may the luck o' the Irish be with you! 


Check out these fun party ideas!
