Leapin’ Leprechauns!
Wool Felt Play Food
Leprechaun Facts and Folklore
We are determined to trap a leprechaun! We’ve done a bit of research we can share with you below. We are also recording our observations. We are formulating a hypothesis. And then we’ll begin crafting our leprechaun traps. Join in the fray by leaving us some comments. What do you know about these petit pranksters? What do the look like? How little are they? What do they like to eat? Lucky Charms? The Wool Felt Play Food pictured above? Irish Soda Bread? Or do they eat at all? These are some of the questions we are pondering right now.
Facts
- They are crafty and cunning but they don’t tell lies!
- They make shoes for fairies and work mostly at night.
- They don’t like to share their pot of gold!
- They are able to make their pot of gold appear/disappear at the end of rainbows.
Our research sources include these lovely picture books:

Our “Leprechauns!” Campaign!
We’ve realized we are vastly outnumbered. Possibly outsmarted. We do have the height advantage going for us though. And a lively imagination to boot. So we are enlisting all of you out there in Internet-land to join us in an adventure! Do you have any thing to add to our facts or folklore research? Please do comment below or tweet with the #Leprechauns! (be sure to spell L-E-P-R-E-C-H-A-U-N-S correctly and include the exclamation point at the end for emphasis!) We’ll keep a log and publish our findings. If we work together we can capture these wiley wonders in time before they disappear for another year after St. Patty’s Day.
