11 Fun Leprechaun Trap Ideas
These leprechaun trap ideas will help you brainstorm your own contraption to catch a leprechaun!
For St. Patrick’s Day as a kid, attempting to catch my very own leprechaun was my favorite activity. I would spend so much time planning and prepping my trap, sure that THIS would be the year I’d finally get one.
Of course, I never did catch a real leprechaun. If you want some ideas to inspire you and your kids, here are some of my favorite leprechaun trap ideas.
Make sure you also get a personalized letter to leave your kids from the leprechaun they almost caught!
