Leprechaun 🍀 Bait

Happy March! Never in my life had I ever heard the tales of catching a leprechaun until I had kids.

I’m not sure if this is an “Elf on the Shelf” phenomenon, but ever since my kids have been in school, they’ve been fascinated with the notion of catching a leprechaun on St. Patrick’s Day.

Since the holiday of Irish love is approaching, I wanted to share this super fun…super easy recipe for Leprechaun Bait.

Make this with your kids and don’t forget to set those leprechaun traps.

May the luck of the Irish be with all of you!
