With a name like O’Driscoll, St. Patrick’s Day is a pretty big deal in my family! My hubby is very proud of his Irish heritage and it has definitely rubbed off on me. Plus, who doesn’t love a good St. Patrick’s Day cocktail, right?
Now that we have kids, it’s less about the cocktails and more about St. Patrick’s Day crafts! We love making easy leprechaun traps and have made everything from Under The Rainbow leprechaun traps to Rooftop traps. I’m not sure what we’re going to come up with this year but I’ve found some fun leprechaun trap ideas for inspiration. Maybe this is the year we finally get that leprechaun gold!

Hey, thanks for posting this! My daughter came home from kindergarten with homework to make a Leprechaun trap this weekend. At least the teacher was honest enough to call it a “family project”. 😉
Ruth
What do you do—if anything—to show evidence that a leprechaun was there? I’d love some ideas.
Lisa
Sometimes our leprechaun takes the gold and leaves chocolate coins behind as a treat. We can usually see where he runs off to because he’ll leave a little trail of glitter. Other times he can be mischievous and leaves a mess behind with a silly note. Hope you catch the little guy 😉
