Creating a Leprechaun Trap: A Fun St. Patrick's Day Craft

Gather Your Materials

You'll need a shoebox, green paint, rainbow stickers, gold coins (chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil work great), glue, and a little bit of creativity!

Paint the Shoebox

Start by painting the shoebox green. This will be the base of your leprechaun trap. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Decorate with Rainbow Stickers

Stick rainbow stickers on the sides of the shoebox. Remember, leprechauns are attracted to rainbows!

Set the Trap with Gold Coins

Place gold coins inside the shoebox. Leprechauns love gold and will be drawn to your trap.

Wait for a Leprechaun

Now, all you have to do is wait! Will you be the lucky one to catch a leprechaun this St. Patrick's Day?
