St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Treasure Hunt & Treat Toppers
Excited to share THE cutest Rainbow Hunt…Have your little ones follow the 7 clues to the treasure. All the work is done for you with our printable St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Treasure Hunt & Treat Toppers.
To play:
Hide the 7 clues along the treasure trail. All of the clues are ordinary places which each home/yard has. Each clue has a fun clever poem on it. The kids love listening or reading the clues and figuring out the next stop on the treasure hunt. At the end of the hunt, hide the “pot of gold” containing treats with the treat topper note.
Since I teach preschool to the most adorable 4 & 5 year olds, holidays are always so much fun. This year for St. Patrick’s day, we will be celebrating with a “green” lunch (I plan on sharing this week), and of course we have to go on a Leprechaun Treasure hunt! I bought Rolos, Skittles & green beaded necklaces to use for our “Treasure.” I designed a rainbow tag treat topper that says “You are my Pot of Gold at the End of a Rainbow.” 
My kiddos LOVE a good treasure hunt, so I made a “LUCKY” treasure hunt to share today…with 8 “generic” clues so that you can use it at home with your little ones. I also included 2 blank circles, if you choose to write your own clues:) 
This is part of our Awesome St. Patrick’s Printable Mega Pack in our Shoppe.
You can purchase this hunt and treat topper sheet and 15 other fun printables for St. Patricks Day:

Scott says
March 14, 2012 at 7:00 amTrying to print the treasure hunt but I am having a hard time doing it. I signed up for an account through box.com but it still doesn’t let me download the file. Can someone help me?
MaseysMom says
March 14, 2012 at 7:42 amRuh roh! It still doesn’t work. There is an error message about bandwith… Sad face!!
Tammy says
March 14, 2012 at 8:04 amHaving the same error message about bandwith. Would love to do this!
Tiffany says
March 14, 2012 at 8:48 amI am having the same problem and not being able to download. Would love some info on how to get it so I can do this with my kids and family!!
kelly says
March 14, 2012 at 9:13 amThis is so adorable! Daughter is having a couple friends spend the night Friday, would love to do this with them St Pattys Day morning, before we head to the parade! Hope the file gets fixed in time….
KRISTIN MILLER says
March 14, 2012 at 10:22 amI can’t download either…. please change it to another format so we cn all try this supwe cute project! Thank you…..
Nikkala says
March 14, 2012 at 10:59 amOkay, here’s the deal. It isn’t the format that’s the problem, and it isn’t the link that’s the problem–the problem is that this has been SO POPULAR! and has been downloaded SO MANY TIMES! that we’ve used up our bandwidth and are looking into other options. It doesn’t make sense for us to offer FREE DOWNLOADS if we have to pay to give them away. Although we are happy you all love them so much! Please be patient as we try to figure out the best solution, we’re working on it!
Suzanne says
March 14, 2012 at 11:48 amThank you so much for looking into fixing the issue. I would love to do this with my kiddos on Saturday. It’s a genius and cute idea!
Lindsey says
March 14, 2012 at 1:37 pmLove this! Hope I am able to print it out soon! Thanks so much for such a cute idea for me to share with my daughter!!
Jennifer says
March 14, 2012 at 2:42 pmI can’t download it either. box.com is saying you are “out of bandwidth.”
Kara says
March 14, 2012 at 3:00 pmHow can I print the treasure hunt without using BOX? It won’t let me! I somehow got it yesterday but one page messed up so I needed to print another one and I cannot get it. When I click on it, it looks different than it did yesterday! Help!!!!
Corie says
March 14, 2012 at 4:36 pmIt won’t let me download either. It says you are out of bandwidth. Is there something else I can do to get it open?
Michelle Blackman says
March 14, 2012 at 7:21 pmI just this fun hunt by chance can i stil get to have for this weekend….my kids would love it!
Carly says
March 14, 2012 at 7:55 pmI was so excited to do this, I cant get it to work either!!! Its so cute!
Jae says
March 14, 2012 at 7:56 pmyou could post a pic of all the clues or write the clues on the website..just an idea.
Kirsten says
March 14, 2012 at 8:45 pmI would love to download this! Please email me the link if you can 🙂
Carolyn says
March 14, 2012 at 11:02 pmThank you so much! The google link works perfectly. I am so excited to have some fun with my kiddos on Saturday. Love it!
Brooke says
March 14, 2012 at 11:07 pmJust so you all know, the link has been fixed. Click on the individual files, then click on FILE>DOWNLOAD when you are on the image page. I’ve tested it, it should work for everyone now! You’re welcome! 😉
Erin says
March 14, 2012 at 11:23 pmThis is a great idea for my daughters 5th birthday this weekend! I can only get the odd numbers to print. Is anyone else having this problem? Super cute idea! Thanks for sharing!
megan says
March 15, 2012 at 1:30 amThanks so much for sharing this, I can’t wait to try it with my 5,4 and 2 year old 🙂
kelly says
March 15, 2012 at 9:52 amThank you so much! This will be fun to do when the kids wake up on St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
jessica says
March 15, 2012 at 12:07 pmI really would like to do this with my daughter, but can’t figure out where the ‘ individual files’ are to download. Is there an easy link ? Thank you !
Nikkala says
March 15, 2012 at 12:21 pmJessica, click on the blue link in the post (the doc.google…. one) and it will take you straight to the files. There are 6 files you can download from there.
Kelly says
March 15, 2012 at 12:50 pmI also just tried to print this out (ADORABLE!!!) but it says “Internal Server Error” when I clink on the link in the post. Am I doing something wrong? I’d LOVE to have this for my 3 boys and my niece for Saturday!
amanda says
March 15, 2012 at 1:37 pmI just tried your link and it is not working. I would love to do this for my kiddos on Sat. Thanks.
LindaTS says
March 15, 2012 at 1:55 pmThanks a lot!
Your treasure hunt made its way to Sweden I just printed it!
Jen says
March 15, 2012 at 2:07 pmI was wondering if you could please post another link for the templates. The link said the website is not working. This is such a great idea I love it!
Leisha says
March 15, 2012 at 2:25 pmSuch a fantastic freebie! Obviously I am not the only one that loves it seeing the download has been on overload mode but I just printed it out and cannot wait! My first grader asked me yesterday what leprechauns do on St. Patrick’s Day and how we could find their pot of gold and I cannot wait to see his face. Thank you!
Scott says
March 15, 2012 at 2:25 pmIs there an issue again with the link? Its coming up with an error.
Nikkala says
March 15, 2012 at 3:41 pmWe aren’t aware of any issues, and the links are still working as far as we can tell. Keep trying!
Crystal Tucker says
March 15, 2012 at 3:23 pmHi! LOVE this blog! I am also having trouble with the link opening, and would love it for my daycare littles tomorrow! Thanks!
Alisha says
March 15, 2012 at 4:10 pmThis is such a fun idea. I am also getting an “Internal Server Error” when I try to download the treasure hunt. Would you be willing to write down what the treasure hunt clues say? That way we can still use the cute rhymes. Thanks!
Carla Pace says
March 15, 2012 at 4:12 pmCant get the download of the you are my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Can you help me with this.
Thanks in advance
Irina says
March 15, 2012 at 4:42 pmI would love to do this, but the download for the clues isnt working..
Brooke says
March 15, 2012 at 5:30 pmHey everyone! The Google Docs link should be working. If it doesn’t work for some reason, I’ve just added more links for you to try. Those should DEFINITELY work. We are getting bombarded with requests and the amount of traffic may be causing our server to go down intermittently, that is why you might see an error. Thanks for understanding!!! 🙂
Jen in PA says
March 15, 2012 at 6:15 pmThanks so much for the cute treasure hunt and toppers. Clever, clever, clever!!
My kids will love it.
MaseysMom says
March 15, 2012 at 7:07 pmThank you sooo much for finding a solution!! Woo hoo! Party Time! Excellent!!!
Terri says
March 15, 2012 at 8:03 pmI made these for my kiddos’ classes, but signed it from GOD, so they know they are a treasure to God. (Christian school, of course) 😉 Thanks for the great idea. Can’t wait to do the treasure hunt with them, though I had to come up with different treasure since I used yours for class treats. Gold coins and green Hershey’s Kisses.
SARAH says
March 15, 2012 at 10:30 pmThank you so much for this cute idea! i have downloaded and printed them and they are all ready for my preschools class tomorrow!
Marsha says
March 16, 2012 at 10:27 amLoved the treasure hunt. Would also like one for an easter egg hunt.
Melissa says
March 16, 2012 at 3:12 pmThank you for these adorable printables. My boys will love this tomorrow.
Teddie says
March 16, 2012 at 6:05 pmThank you soooo much! I am getting this ready for tomorrow, my kids will love it!
Natalie says
March 17, 2012 at 9:04 pmThank you for this darling treasure hunt! I did this today for St. Patrick’s Day, my girls (ages 3 and 6) LOVED this! So much fun!
Mel says
March 18, 2012 at 12:23 pmThank you so much for the idea and printables, I did this with my 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 this morning and they loved it! I told them that a leprechaun must have come to visit in the night and planted the clues. My 3 1/2 year old daughter was so excited she was shaking! Once we found the treasure (a flower pot filled with chocolate coins) we made some rainbow cupcakes and my daughter insisted on leaving one in the yard for the leprechauns with some clues for them to find it – then they both had a nap and when they woke up the cupcake was gone – they were thrilled and a thank you note (on one of the blank clues) was in it’s place. A real piece of magic in our garden and a real pick me up on a day when both kids are feeling full of cold and a bit sorry for themselves.
Melissa W. says
March 21, 2012 at 7:35 amSuch cute printables! I used them on Saturday for our annual St. Patty’s Day scavenger hunt. The kids loved it. You can see how it turned out here:

Thanks again!!
Tamara says
February 27, 2013 at 11:32 pmLove these. I can’t wait to try all of your St. Patty’s day ideas. We are in the process of selling our house and as a result we have packed away most of the little ones toys and things so we are going to try to make St. Patrick’s Day extra special this year. Found you on Pinterest.
Heather says
March 4, 2013 at 3:43 pmDid this one last year with my kids and they had so much fun. I forgot to laminate the clues and lost them.. I was in a bit a of a panic- so glad that you still have this available. THANK YOU 🙂
lannie says
March 11, 2013 at 9:14 pmWonderful! We are having a party Wednesday and this will work great!
Karen Mary Butterfly says
March 12, 2013 at 7:13 amThis is such a cute idea. Great treasure hunt!
Karen
Jessica says
March 14, 2013 at 1:01 pmThank you for the great treasure hunt. I am going to use this for my kids and the idea for primary.
Kara says
March 16, 2013 at 7:29 pmThank you so much for the wonderful St. Patrick’s Day treasure hunt! I printed out the blank templates and made a hunt for my boys to do tomorrow. They are going to love it! So happy I came across your site! You have amazingly wonderful ideas!
Kristin Maier says
March 17, 2013 at 10:34 pmLove it and downloaded your clues for my 4 year old! She loved it. I posted your link on my blog, http://honeybearsandsydneybeans.blogspot.ca/ Thanks!!
Tiffany says
February 20, 2014 at 8:33 pmI hope you do not mind I shared this on My blog’s(vintagemarigold.com) St. Patrick’s Day Dinner post. I used a photo and a link back to you both from the photo and the text.
Angela says
March 4, 2014 at 9:03 amWas so excited to trying this with my children and making treats to take to one of their play groups but cant seem to print the files after they are downloaded. Very disappointed
Nikkala says
March 4, 2014 at 9:08 amYou will need to open the file using Windows Photo Viewer to be able to print. You can find other tips for our printables in this post https://thecraftingchicks.com/2014/02/tips-for-printable-success.html
Lisa says
July 17, 2014 at 3:31 pmLooking to try this with some 3 and 4 years but it looks like the link is no longer posted.
Doreen Peterson says
March 12, 2015 at 3:44 pmI was so excited to print out the clues for the Leprechaun hunt, but they don’t print in color. I can get everything else to print in color, but not the clues.
Tausha Rondeau says
March 16, 2015 at 10:59 amHi! I was wondering if you could tell me what font you used on the Treasure Hunt clues. I was going to add a few clues & change a few things to accommodate our house & little ones, but wanted the fonts to match if possible. Thanks in advance!
Nicole says
March 16, 2016 at 1:02 pmHello I would love to download this amazing treasure hunt. However I can’t seem to find the download link at all. All I can find are ads. Could someone please tell me where to look or just reply with the link please?
