DIY Leprechaun Traps for St. Patrick’s Day

March 12 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

We're making these this year and including the free printable temporary tattoos inside - excited to see the kids' faces when they see what the leprechaun left behind.

Making Leprechaun Traps for St. Paddy’s Day is the latest tradition being adopted everywhere by families with young kids.  For ideas and instructions on how to get in on the fun and make your own trap, check out my post this week for eHow’s Mom Channel.

The best part about these traps is that your leprechaun can leave anything behind, some of our favorite ideas include:

  • chocolate coins
  • skittles
  • lucky charms snack mix
  • our DIY “no pinching” temporary tattoos
  • the 1st clue from our free printable limerick treasure hunt (our favorite because it involves a message to the kids from the almost-captured leprechaun)

P.S. Did you know that facebook has recently drastically changed the way pages like MPMK can share with their followers? Even if you’re a fan of the MPMK facebook page, only a portion of our posts and updates are showing up in your feed these days.
