Megan's Leperchan Trap

In mid-March Megan's 1st grade class had an assignment to make a leprechaun trap. They were hoping to catch one of those feisty little green guys to find out the secrets of rainbows and four leaf clovers and of course where his pot of gold was...
This shows the end of the rainbow and where Megan was trying to trick the leprechaun into thinking he left his hat behind and the path of clovers down to where the goodies are...
This is inside the trap door where Megan placed a fake pot of gold (with gold coins on the ground leading up to the pot and a bottle of "Irish Cheer" to entice our lil' leprechaun...
Megan with her Leprechaun trap (if you look inside the trap door you can see where she & Mark rigged a small tupperware upside down so when the leprechaun walks inside the box to get the drink & gold he trips a wire that's set across the door and drops the trap) the green paper is her report on how her trap works, which she received an A+ on, and of course sister Macy gets in a smile and a 'good job" cuddle!
