How to Catch a Leprechaun

Filed under: — Elizabeth @ 6:31 pm

Although the leprechaun has eluded capture since time began, I believe we may have developed the first escape proof plan. Well, I guess I should say my daughter has. For her kindergarten class they had to design, sketch, build and present a leprechaun trap (yes, kindergarten). So here’s her contribution. We do know a few things about leprechauns. (1) They never do what they’re told (so a “do not climb” sign assures they will climb). (2) They love shiny things (like cans and bits of gold). (3) They’re pretty tiny (so they probably won’t be able to climb out of things they’ve fallen into.)

Here’s The plan.

And here’s the final result.

And here they are waiting for said leprechaun to fall in said trap.

And what happens if we finally catch one? Apparenly we’ll be “rich” and have lots of Barbies.

I can’t wait!
