Leprechaun Trap Instructions

St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! That means one thing: those sweet, yet sneaky little Leprechauns are getting ready for some mischievous fun!

Legend says that whoever can catch a Leprechaun will win gold!

Do You Think You Can Catch A Leprechaun?

Every year, kids from all over the world invent their own Leprechaun Traps in the hopes of finally out tricking and finally catching one! A Leprechaun Trap is a fun, homemade, inexpensive project for the entire family.

Typically, the traps are set up the night before St. Patrick’s Day. When you wake up on St. Patrick’s Day, check to see if you were able to catch one!

It’s not often that a clever little Leprechaun actually gets caught, but they can leave behind evidence of their presence (such as footprints, shamrocks, gold coins or a special note for the children who set up the trap).
