We have got to be the luckiest group of daycare kids around....
We caught a Leprechaun!
The week leading up to St Patrick's Day was spent making rainbows and shamrocks for art as well as working on our leprechaun trap!
It is a group activity where we all work on the same project (not always smoothly i might add). It takes a few days to paint and decorate the perfect trap..... but it worked!
On St Patrick's day we went to the park and collected clover and flowers that we used as bait, and then searched for the perfect 'Y' shaped stick to complete the trap!
Now that the trap was set.... all we had to do was be very quiet and wait....
Sure enough, when nap time was over, Rosie bolted from her bed to check the trap and just as we had hoped... the trap had been sprung!
The only thing left to do was to trade the leprechauns freedom for his treasures!
So we all placed our hands on the trap... closed our eyes.. wished with all of our hearts... and said "I set you free!"
Taaadaaaah!
Just like magic!
Happy Leprechaun Day everyone!
