The Leprechaun is a much-loved and sometimes feared magical creature of Irish folk legend.

Short in stature and with a long-beard and pot of gold, leprechauns were once believed to pervade the Irish countryside.

Those little men all dressed in green, obsessed with rainbows and treasure, trickery, and of course shoe-making.

As part of our leprechaun week, we made our very own leprechaun traps! Using gold coins, a shoebox, and our imaginations, we set up the perfect trap for our little friends!
