Leprechaun Catcher

My 6 six year old daughter wanted to try to catch a leprechaun, and being an adventurous dad I said.... hey, why not give it a try! So we made a leprechaun catcher. The idea is simple and you'll have lots of fun making it with your child.

So what do you use for bait to catch a leprechaun? why GOLD! of course so gather up some gold, a box, some string and a creative 6 year old and lets get to it.

Step 1 Step 1 - Aquire the parts

First you will need a box with a hinged top. I used a box that some chocolates came in that I received as a gift for Christmas, it was a great excuse to empty the box (yummy). The box is about 12 inches by 6 inches and 3 inches deep, use whatever you have lying around. You will also need the following items:

2 pieces of paper cut to size for the inside of the box top and the bottom of the box
Crayons, markers ect.
A small pot, I used a small terracotta plant pot about 2 inches tall
Some paint to paint the pot
Sting (thin)
Gold chocolate coins
Hot glue gun
An child to draw the "Rainbow"
