The Legend of the Leprechauns

Full of Magic and trickery the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's Day. Disguising themselves as leaves and grass and sounding like the wind they come and go UN-noticed. However it is said that if a decorated treasure box is left empty under the moon, the leprechauns must fill the box with gold, jewels, or gifts. But then they will hide the box in the most unlikely of places. If the box is found on St. Patrick's Day the treasure remains in our world. If not, the leprechauns may retrieve the box and the treasure inside. Although Leprechauns are very clever it is not impossible to find their treasure because unknowingly they often leave a trail of greenery behind them. Have your child decorate an empty box and just before bed on the eve of st. Patrick's day. place they box on a windowsill where the moon will shine upon it. In the morning search for a trail of green in the hopes that you will find the treasure they left behindEthan's Leprechaun Treasure box (He had a little help)

Leah is so proud of her box it has a star and a circle and a.......

What it lacks in flashiness it makes up for in functions there is a Leprechaun GPS system that will secretly attach to the back of him when he's put the treasure in the box then after he hides the box he will be able to locate not only the treasure but the Leprechaun and their secret world and he'll be able to get all the treasure (the boy has one heck of an imagination)

ALSO it's important for me to let my family know...... I ALLOWED my kids to use ALL the Paper, glue, and tape that they wanted to use for their creations and did not once try to hide it from them It's your fault if you didn't by stock in Elmer's or Scotch tape....... :)
