Free Printable Leprechaun Letter To Child

Are your kids getting their leprechaun trap ready to go?

My kids are OB-SESSED.

Every year, their leprechaun trap is bigger and better than the last.

And every year, without fail, my children legit believe that they will catch the leprechaun.

It’s quite the let down in the morning.

This Saint Patrick’s Day morning sadness is what prompted me to create this letter.

To tell my children that their trap was awesome and amazing and that they ALMOST succeeded.

Receiving this letter on the morning of St. Patty’s Day is going to 100% make them excited for next year and they won’t even think about being disappointed.

I’ve always thought that the pre-Saint Patrick’s Day activities (such as building a leprechaun trap for kids) are much more fun than the actual day.

This printable letter is a fun way to bring some fun to your St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

When I was a child, we never did the leprechaun tradition.

I didn’t know anything about it.

Then, I married into my husband’s family and it became something we had to do.

My kids love it so it’s fine, but I was clueless.

Thankfully, my mother-in-law took over.

Each year, she comes through with a bunch of props that she finds (usually at the Dollar Tree).

It could be little leprechaun pants or underwear, for example.

You could also include a leprechaun hat or pot of gold filled with gold coins.
