Family Project for month of March! Every year we try to catch that pesky Leprechaun who messes up our room when we go outside to play! Families are asked to make a Leprechaun trap and we set them out on St. Patricks Day to try and catch him! He always leaves us lots of gold chocolate coins to eat so it is worth having to clean up his mess!
