Leprechaun Trap

Difficulty: Very Easy

Average User Rating:

My daughter made the Leprechaun Trap in Kindergarten a few years ago. This project could easily be made in a group setting. See if you can catch a leprechaun! Be sure to visit our St. Patrick's Day main index as well as our St. Paddy's Day craftsparty ideas and recipes.

What you'll need:

  • Shoe box (do not need lid)
  • Aluminum foil
  • Glue
  • Tape, optional
  • Green felt, craft foam, or paper
  • Shamrock stickers, optional
  • Scissors
  • Stick about twice the depth of the box.

How to make it:

  1. Cover a shoe box with aluminum foil using glue or tape to hold it in place.
  2. Cut shamrocks out of felt, foam, paper, or use stickers to decorate.
  3. Glue the shamrocks, if not using stickers, to the box.
  4. The night before St. Patty's Day, put a stick under the box and leave it out by your front door.
  5. If a leprechaun stops by, he'll leave a surprise for you! (I like to leave some green candies or a few shiny pennies for the kids)
