Try to catch a leprechaun with a leprechaun trap!

The poster boy of St. Patrick’s Day, the leprechaun, comes from Irish folktale, described as a fairy that takes the shape of a little old man who makes shoes in the forest. It was told that he has a pot of gold, and if captured, he may reveal its hiding place if the viewer can keep eyes on him. Be careful, as the leprechaun will try and trick you into glancing away so he can make an escape! Even if you have no interest in the gold or the folktale, a leprechaun trap can be a fun arts and crafts experience for the whole family, especially younger family members who still may have their hearts set on finding the leprechaun.
