St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Fun for Your Family
St. Patrick’s day has quickly become one of our family’s favorite holidays in our house. Not only is it fun for the kids, it’s fun for the parents. Even the teachers at school have been having fun with it. Our boys have fun creating Leprechaun traps prior to St. Patrick’s Day. We all love getting up to see the mischief that happened overnight and unfortunately we have not caught one yet.

Our Favorite Leprechaun Trap
Our boys made this leprechaun trap a couple of years ago and love it! It has lasted us for three years. We first saw it on Family Fun (now spoonful). Thanks Disney!
Repurposed Gingerbread Houses
We had a couple of extra Gingerbread houses left over from Christmas so we repurposed them as Leprechaun houses. My boys had a lot of fun decorating them with rainbow twizzlers and “gold” chocolate coins. I like them even more than Gingerbread houses at Christmas.
