Are leprechauns invading your home? Are your children coming home begging to make a leprechaun trap to find out what they are really all about? Do they keep asking you when the leprechauns are coming and what will happen this year? In this blog I have included a link to some great ideas for making your own Leprechaun trap and some legends of the leprechauns so that you know exactly how they operate, making them easier to catch of course.
The Legend of the Leprechaun:
Leprechauns are tricky little guys, and legend has it that they remain in their hide aways until the night before St. Patrick's Day, March 16th. That night, they come out and dance and celebrate all night, for just one night, leaving mischeif and messes as they go. Legends also say that if these leprechauns run across an empty treasure chest, they must fill it, but then they can hide it anywhere they want. If the treasure is found on St. Patrick's Day then it can stay in our world, but if not, the leprechauns take it back with them and the treasure remains theirs. Even though these leprechauns are sneaking little creatures, you may be surprised to find that they often leave behind them a trail of green, so it may be easier to find the treasure than you think.
You can help your children make a treasure chest from an old box or shoe box and then when they are fast asleep a night on the 16th, leave it in the moonlight and let the leprechauns fill it up. They may leave false trails to the treasure in the morning though, so be extra careful to find the right one.
Here is a link to the Familyfun.com website where you can find some tricky leprechaun catching ideas, sure to dazzle your kids and maybe even catch them a leprechaun or two. You could even make some goodies to go along with your trap so they are sure to be lured in, such as a pot of fools gold, in the form of yellow jello. They will eat it all up, and you may catch yourself a leprechaun.
