Leprechaun Hunting Kit and Bathroom Decor

I put together a leprechaun hunting kit so my daughter could try to catch a leprechaun this St. Patrick's Day.
I started with a plain box from the craft store and added some st Patrick’s day stickers.
Then it was time to fill the box with the supplies needed to catch the little guy
I added a notebook, mini clipboard and some green green pencils to take notes and clues. Of course there were some gold coins and Lucky Charms Cereal because we know leprechauns love to snack on Lucky Charms. If we get hungry while we are searching we can snack on them too.
The magnifying glass is used to search for tiny clues like footprints left behind.
A flashlight helps us search into some of the dark corners of the house where he might be hiding.
I confess I added in a bar of Irish spring soap only because it has the word “Irish” in it’s name.
Pro Tip: If your kids don’t like to take baths try telling them leprechauns are attracted to fresh and clean kids that smell like Irish Spring.
We didn't catch a leprechaun but he did come visit our house in the middle of the night and wreaked havoc on our bathroom. He left a note on the mirror taunting us that we didn't catch him.
The leprechaun made a huge mess in the bathroom. He toilet papered the whole thing with his special green toilet paper
He also did some business in the toilet and left footprints all over the place! Hopefully next year we can catch him.
