Each of the Leprechaun Trap Printables comes with pages to make these 4 leprechaun traps.

Leprechaun Trap #1: In a Sneeze

The first trap is called In a Sneeze. It fits perfectly over an empty square tissue box.

Just cut out each piece and have your kids glue it on.

However, you can adapt it to any box you have at home. That makes this a great recycled craft idea.

Simply download the printable and print it on white cardstock. Cut out each piece using scissors.

Next, let kids glue the pieces onto the box using a glue stick. This step builds fine motor skills for preschool and early learners.

We also included a bright rainbow ladder printable. Leprechauns love rainbows and always follow them.

Scatter extra gold coins near the trap for added excitement. Soon, leprechauns will come sneaking in from far away.

Leprechaun Trap #2: Leprechaun’s Hat

Next up is the adorable Leprechaun’s Hat Trap. This one is always a favorite with kids.

Wrap the printable around an empty soup can. Glue it everywhere except the top opening.

Place the top circle loosely with adhesive on one side. This creates a simple falling trap effect.

When the leprechaun reaches for the pot of gold, he tumbles in. Kids love watching this clever trap come together.

This leprechaun paper craft works well for classrooms too. It requires minimal supplies and setup time.

Leprechaun Trap #3: Rainbow Tunnel

The Rainbow Tunnel Trap is every leprechaun’s dream. After all, gold is always found at the rainbow’s end.

Cut out the tunnel pieces and assemble them with glue. Use cardstock to help the tunnel stand strong.

Be sure to include the “Gold This Way” sign. That sign helps guide sneaky leprechauns inside.

Add gold coins and shamrocks for extra charm. This trap makes a bright and colorful table display.

Leprechaun Trap #3: Rainbow Tunnel

And what leprechaun wouldn’t want to take a ride on a Rainbow Slide, right into a pot of gold?

Finally, meet the exciting Rainbow Slide Trap. This design sends leprechauns sliding into a pot of gold.

Wrap the printable around a Pringles can or paper towel tube. Both options work great and recycle household items.

Prop the slide using paper straws or folded cardstock. Add signs and gold coins to finish the look.

Kids love imagining leprechauns taking the wild ride. This trap sparks creativity and storytelling.
