Leprechaun Footprints

Little Leprechaun Footprints  

Have you ever wondered how to make those cute little footprints for Leprechauns?  Does your family enjoy a little Leprechaun mischief on St. Patrick’s Day?  Maybe you make a wee little Leprechaun trap or try to lure them in with rainbow cookies.

It’s time to embrace the mischief that a Leprechaun can bring.  That may just mean making little green footprints on the bathroom floor or even on the toilet seat with some green food coloring in the toilet (hee hee)!  <<I used to do this when I taught first grade, the kids would freak out!

  • Leprechaun Traps – Children are so creative and love sharing their strategy to catch them.  If your kids are interested in doing this, purchase chocolate gold coins and leave them behind as a gift from the Leprechauns.
  • One more fun trick – pistachio pudding.  The powder looks white, but it turns green when you add milk.  Cool.  *not for nut or dairy allergies.
