My oldest son, Sean, has an assignment this month. Each third grader is required to plan, devise, build and write an essay on "How to Trap A Leprechaun." Sean decided to go with a planter theme to showcase his plan to catch a Leprechaun. He planted some greenery, made a pathway out of rocks, used an archway with a bell at the beginning of the path and a wheelbarrow with a pot of gold at the end of the path. Above that pot of gold is the trap. An Irish looking shot glass attached to a stick, ready to trap a Leprechaun!
Here's a close-up of the trap and the wheelbarrow. Sean stuck a muscle man on the pathway until we can find a suitable Leprechaun ;)
Of course, my first grader, Jake, wanted to make his own planter and trap, too. Jake used different greenery and put gold coins to the left of the path with a similar trap above those gold coins.
Jake drew and colored his own Leprechaun, glued him on a popsicle stick and stuck him by the gold coins, ready for capture!
The boys and I had fun creating these little imaginative works of art.

These are adorable! How fun! We just wrap a box in white paper and then the kids decorate the outside and glue a gold coin in the bottom of the box. :)
