To Catch a Leprechaun!: St. Patrick's Day Books, Activities and Crafts for Preschool and Toddlers

Today’s St. Patrick’s day book was Leprechaun on the Loose, a tale about a little Leprechaun who causes trouble for a class party and a little boy who is trying desperately to catch the trouble-maker. Finally, the little boy builds a leprechaun trap, but will it work?

This was a pretty cute book, but it didn’t do much for teaching values. Still, it’s one that I would keep in the St. Patrick’s Day collection just for fun. As I’ve mentioned before, my crew is pretty young, so we just colored pictures of Leprechauns.
