Valerie’s Leprechaun Trap

Valerie made this leprechaun trap as part of a class project.

Merrilee, Valerie's mom, explains the trap: "This is the leprechaun trap my daughter Valerie built. She's 7 years old and is submitting it as a class project.

The leprechaun climbs the ladder to get the treasure chest and falls through a trap door in the center. There is Easter basket grass inside the box so the leprechaun won't get hurt, and the signs read "No leprechauns allowed" because we know they are contrary fellows and ignore signs.

We used a plastic box that we had lying around, along with gold Christmas wrapping paper. We bought shamrock stickers at the store and made the ladder out of scrap wood. I had the material on the walkway left over from another project."
