Use this fun Leprechaun Treasure Hunt for a fun St. Patrick’s Day activity for kids.
I am planning a “Leprechaun Treasure Hunt” using these shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day in my preschool class. I will hide the clues (shamrocks) throughout the class, or in the backyard (depending on the weather). The kiddos will follow the colors of the rainbow starting with the rainbow colored shamrock, then red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple. At the end of the rainbow, a treasure awaits! I haven’t filled the treasure chest yet, but check back on Saturday and I’ll share my ideas for that as well as a sneaky way to make leprechaun footprints!
If you would like to download these “Rainbow Shamrocks” and send your little ones on a leprechaun hunt, here is the link:
***After downloading the zipped file to your computer, right click on it and then select extract. It should open the file and you are good to go! Remember, these downloads are for personal use only please***
For a fun twist, you could make Nikkala’s Leprechaun Trap and then hide the first clue inside the trap! They may not catch the leprechaun, but at least he could leave a note! How fun would that be?!

SO fantastic! I’m sharing this in a 5 for Friday roundup of St. Patrick’s Day Treasure Hunt ideas on my blog tomorrow, including one pic and a link back to this post. Thanks for sharing such great printables!!
I download the files but it won’t let me print them. Print is not an option.
They’ll need to be unzipped before they can be printed.
I am having same problem. Printing is not an option and I have unzipped the file.
Love this idea!!! I want to do it for my son’s preschool class but having problems downloading?… Any suggestions? Thank you for posting!
I downloaded and unzipped but it only prints a blank page 🙁
