Last week for kindergarten homework, the assignment was to make a Leprechaun trap. My kindergartner had so much fun going shopping and choosing super sparkly green paper to cover it with. He also loved going to the craft store and picking out some things to decorate it with. He wanted it to be as shiny as possible because Leprechauns really like shiny stuff. He also wanted to make sure we made a ladder because Leprechauns are very small. He worked on this trap for 5 hours. When he finished he said, "Do you think my teacher will think that mine is the best?" He was so proud of it. All week long he reminded everyone in the family not to eat the Lucky Charms because he was going to need them to feed to his Leprechaun when he brought it home. His teacher had each student write about what they would do if they caught a Leprechaun and my son wrote that he would get it to make money and give it to poor people.

Shiny inside the trap to keep the Leprechaun interested in staying, with a pot of Lucky Charms for a snack, and it is sticky inside so the Leprechaun can't escape
