Leprechauns are mythical figures in Irish folklore. While they are best known for hiding a pot of at the end of the rainbow, they are also supposed to be very, very naughty, playing lots of tricks on unsuspecting humans. For some St. Patrick’s Day fun with your little one, try luring one of the wee ones to your home and see what happens next! These leprechaun visit ideas offer you a chance to bring a bit of magic to your preschooler. At the same time, you’re encouraging her to learn more about St. Patrick’s Day. Then, the night before St. Patrick’s Day, remind your child what the next day is and that they should be on the lookout for a special visitor the next morning.

Ways to Stage a Leprechaun Visit

Before your children wake up in the morning, your mission is to leave little leprechaun traces all around the house. When you make it look like a mischievous wee one was around overnight, your kids will be amazed that they really did visit. They’ll also be surprised at the mess leprechauns can make! You don’t have to do all of these ideas to make your preschooler’s St. Patrick’s Day fun. Simply incorporate the ones you like and modify them to suit your needs. Most importantly, have fun and be silly!
