Leprechaun Footprints and Other St. Patrick’s Day Shenanigans

Leprechaun Footprints
After the lights go out on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day, our house comes to life. That sneaky leprechaun rusn around the house playing games and tricks in celebration of the holiday. The kids awake in the morning to see what shenanigans the leprechaun was up to through the night. The kids are amazed to see that the little guy got into our green (washable) paint and left little footprints all over the place!
More Leprechaun Fun
Here’s some other crazy shenanigans that Leprechau likes to pull at our house…
- Scatter the kids’ green toys around as if the leprechaun had played with them.
- Turn the milk in the fridge green with food coloring.
- Make a trail of gold chocolate coins.
- Tape rainbow colored streamers to the kids’ bedroom doors.
- Turn the toilet water green with food coloring.
- Turn things upside down and inside out.
- Hide paper cut-out shamrocks for the kids to find.
Does the leprechaun visit your house on St. Patrick’s Day Eve?
