With St. Patrick's Day on the way, it's time to make leprechaun traps. For as the legend in The Night Before St. Patrick's Day says,

"For if they caught one-

so the legend told -

they'd find where he buried

his big pot of gold."

Leprechauns love shiny things like charms and rings. Gold chocolate coins, too! So don't forget to put something shiny in your trap to lure the leprechaun. 

Here are some ideas of what to use to make your leprechaun trap:
