Would you like a visit from a leprechaun?


Last year I learned of this cute St. Patrick's Day tradition for kids from my friend. Gather the kids and have them decorate a shoe box to go along with the holiday. The night before St. Patrick's Day you place the box where moonlight can touch it. This way the leprechauns know they are welcome to your home and will leave a surprise! The next morning the children discover fun, green treats for all! The leprechaun also plays silly tricks throughout the house: pillows stacked in the middle of the room, green toilet water, socks hanging from a shelf, shoes in the refrigerator, etc. I love this idea and makes St. Patrick's Day always a day to look forward to.

That's a cute idea. Last year Max made a leprechaun hunt for his brothers. He had little green footprints throughout the house with funny clues. I am sure he will love this idea. We will have to try it. thanks for sharing.
