ideas:

leprechauns
pots of gold
rainbows
gold coins
leprechaun hats
leprechaun shoes
little hammer and/or little shoes (leprechauns are the cobblers for the fairies)
4 leaf clovers
tiny bendies dressed all in green
tiny shamrocks to hang up or to hide
bags of green confetti
bags of green and/or gold leprechaun dust
tiny plants tied with pieces of red ribbon (will only make sense if you have read Clever Tom and the leprechaun or one of the variations)
fimo shamrock pins or necklaces
little leprechaun traps or items to be sued to make leprechaun traps - we make leprechaun traps every year and then leave them out the night before St Patrick's Day. On the morning of the 17th, the kids awaken to the traps having been set, but no one inside ... but they always get a little bag of magic beans (which is what I am sending for this swap) with instructions to plan them and check on them the next day. The next day, lollipops are "growing" where they planed the beans (I am also sending the lollipops)

I forgot about snakes, lol!

For traps ... I have been doing this for about 10 years now, between my old Kindergarten classes and now my kiddos I always give the kids a bunch of things, odds and ends, and lots of string, lol, and see what they come up with. The owner of my school hated me on St Patty's Day because I would let the kids set up these elaborate traps that pretty much took up the entire room, all over the floor, and I would leave them there overnight <gasp>. Kenna's have been far less elaborate, usually some sticks and a string and a cup are all that is invloved in hers

For tiny traps, maybe a matchbox or one of those really small wood chip boxes (I think that's what they are called, they are those really super thin wood ones), or a small round basket, with a toothpick and a piece of string (toothpick to prop the basket up, string to tie to the toothpick) ...

Why shouldn't our bendies have some fun? Everyone drinks green beer on St Patrick's Day, (well, except me, I hate beer).

What about tiny loaves of Irish soda bread?

And little plates of corned beef and cabbage?

Can you tell me the dimensions of this? I am making a rainbow/sky background and want to make a bush that can hide the pot of gold.

Dear Mom and Dad- I may parent differently than you did. This does not mean that I think you did it "wrong." However, it also does not mean I am doing it wrong.
