Love creating a little mischief on St Patrick's Day

Legend states that leprechauns are mischievous fairies in Ireland who are typically male and wear either a red or green coat. Leprechauns live a solitary life, making shoes, and hiding their gold in a pot at the end of a rainbow, but if you can catch one, he must grant you three wishes.

But, how do you catch a leprechaun?

Amuse your children by working together to build a leprechaun trap.
