Leprechaun trap
This fun project can be made with items you probably have lying around your house: a cereal box, cotton balls, construction paper and glitter or glitter glue. You’ll also need a 12-inch dowel, but take a quick trip outside and you will likely find a stick that will work just as well.
Kids will love making and setting this trap and imaging a Leprechaun sneaking in to get the gold! Amanda says to remember to tell your kids that Leprechauns are very, very fast so don’t be surprised if they grab the gold and escape even if the trap closes! She gives all the details you’ll need for this project at Crafts by Amanda.
