HALLOWEEN
CHRISTMASSt. Patrick’s Day is full of fun traditions, and one of the most exciting activities for kids is building a leprechaun trap! 🏗️✨ According to folklore, leprechauns are mischievous little fairies who love gold and treasure. If you catch one, legend says he must grant you three wishes before he’s set free! 🪙💚 Whether you’re looking for simple DIY ideas or elaborate traps, we’ve got you covered! 🎉
1️⃣ Shoebox Gold Coin Trap 🎁💰
Take an old shoebox and decorate it with green paint, glitter, and shamrocks. 🍀 Place gold coins (chocolate or plastic) inside as bait. Use a stick to prop the box open, so when the leprechaun steps inside, the box falls and traps him! 🎩
2️⃣ Leprechaun Ladder Trick 🪜✨
Use small craft sticks to create a ladder leading to a tempting pot of gold. 🏆 Make sure the pot has a false bottom that drops the leprechaun into a hidden compartment underneath. 🤭
3️⃣ Rainbow Slide Trap 🌈🎢
Kids love rainbows, and so do leprechauns! Build a rainbow slide leading into a box. 📦 Cover the entrance with green felt so when the leprechaun slides in, he can’t climb back out. 😆
4️⃣ Cup and Coin Trap 🥤🪙
An easy and quick trap! Balance a cup over gold coins using a small stick. 🏗️ When the leprechaun goes for the gold, he’ll knock the stick over and be trapped under the cup. 🎯
5️⃣ Hat Trap 🎩🕳️
Use a green St. Patrick’s Day hat as a trap! Place a false floor inside with a hidden hole underneath. When the leprechaun steps in, he falls into a secret space below. 🕳️😲
6️⃣ Lucky Rainbow Path 🌈🏃
Create a trail of rainbow-colored paper leading to a fake pot of gold. 🏆 When the leprechaun reaches the end, he’ll step into a box with no escape! 🔒
7️⃣ Cereal Box Trap 🥣🍀
Take an empty Lucky Charms cereal box and cut a small opening at the top. Add a bait trail of marshmallows leading to the opening, so the leprechaun falls right in! 🤩
8️⃣ Hidden Net Trap 🥅💚
Use a small net suspended above a path of gold coins. 🏅 When the leprechaun tries to take the treasure, the net falls and traps him! ⚡
9️⃣ St. Patrick’s Day Balloon Trap 🎈🍀
Set up green and gold balloons near a trap door in a shoebox. The balloons will camouflage the hole, making it impossible for the leprechaun to escape. 🎩
🔟 The Classic Box & Stick Trap 📦🪵
A simple yet effective idea! Place a cardboard box upside down with one side propped up by a stick. 🏗️ Put gold coins underneath and attach a string to the stick. When the leprechaun goes inside, pull the string and trap him! 🎯
