LEPRECHAUN TRAP

A Message From The Craft Lady...
.
Here is a great project for your younger children or grandchildren. My sons and I made these same Leprechaun Traps many years ago. See if you can catch a Leprechaun this St. Patrick's Day!

Here is what you will need:

1 shoe box (do not need lid)
1 stick (about twice the depth of the box)
Aluminum foil
Glue or Tape
Green felt, craft foam, or paper
Shamrock stickers (optional)
Scissors

How To Make It
.

Cover a shoe box with aluminum foil using glue or tape to hold it in place.
Cut shamrocks out of felt, foam, paper, or use stickers to decorate.
Glue the shamrocks, if not using stickers, to the box.
The night before St. Patty's Day, put a stick under the box and leave it out by your front door. If a leprechaun stops by, he'll leave a surprise for you! (He might leave some green candies or a few shiny pennies for the kids - hint, hint!)

POT o' GOLD JELLO

Surprise your favorite little people on March 17th with these wee emerald pots filled with sweet, edible gold.

THE INGREDIENTS:

3-ounce box of lemon-flavor gelatin
6 limes
Sugar
1 teaspoon of whipped cream

.
1. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving several inches of overhang on each side (this will make removing the gelatin easier). Combine a 3-ounce box of lemon-flavor gelatin and 1 cup of boiling water in a medium bowl, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved. Stir in 1 cup of cold water, then pour the mixture into the baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill the gelatin for 4 hours or until firm, then slice the gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes.

2. Cut off the top quarter of each of 6 limes, then, without cutting into the fruit, slice a thin layer of peel from the bottom of each one to help them stand upright. With a small knife, cut around the inside of each lime's rind to loosen the pulp, then spoon it out to make a shell.

3. Place a pinch of sugar and 1 teaspoon of whipped cream in the bottom of each shell, then fill each lime pot with gelatin gold. Makes 6.
