6 Most Fun St. Patrick’s Day Children Activities
6. Make Leprechaun Traps
Did you know that Irish folk used to actually try and catch these little fairies? You’re probably not the only ones who were unaware of this Irish folklore-based tradition. But now that you know, use it as a source of inspiration for St. Patrick’s day children activities.
How, you ask?
If your kids can catch those cunning leprechauns (who are undoubtedly out and about on this day of all days! ), they are said to grant you three wishes or guide you to their gold. Because they are among the most cunning creatures on the planet, they will frequently elude even the most sophisticated traps…but may leave a trail of gold (or chocolate coins!) in their wake.
Clever tip: If you think that’s too many sweets for one day, you can replace chocolate coins with any other treat. We recommend Yogies, Zollipops, and Melty Veggies!
