Leprechaun Activities for Kids

Leprechaun Trap Cake

 Forum member Kellynkay made this St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Trap Cake for her girls last year.  It’s adorable!  She tells us, “We’ve even baited it with lots & lots of gold.  The kids were excited to leave it out overnight to see if we could catch the little stinker. SURPRISE!  No wonder there was gold – it was at the end of the rainbow.  The kids were TOTALLY surprised when I cut it this morning!”

 

Naughty Leprechaun Trick

The leprechaun in Shell’s house was quite naughty last year.  “I used green food coloring in the potty.  For the feet, I painted the sides of my hands (make a fist while you’re doing it) with green watercolor paint and then “Stamped” the foot. The toes are just dots with my fingertips.  *I used watercolor paint because I knew it wouldn’t stain the seat green after the leprechaun did his business and left.”  

 

Leprechaun Refrigerator

Forum member ecarlson posted this photo of her Leprechaun Refrigerator in our crafts photo gallery.   She writes, “This was made using construction paper. The kids enjoyed cutting out the different shapes they thought would work for the face. The eyes are google eyes and the buttons are stickers, but everything else is construction paper.”

 

Leprechaun Footprints

Susie came up with this fun Leprechaun Activity for Kids:  Leprechaun Footprints.  “To get into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, I taught my preschooler about leprechauns and pots of gold at the end of rainbows.  That afternoon, when Maggie finished quiet time, she found tiny, green, leprechaun footprints leading from the door of her room.”

    The following year we created the leprechaun out of felt and magnets for the refrigerator. Here is an updated picture: http://workingmomwonders.blogspot.com/2014/02/leprechaun-refrigerator-decoration.html?m=1

    We also do a rabbit for Easter and the Detroit Tiger mascot for the summer!
