Leprechaun traps
Leprechaun Traps are crafts with an Irish folklore background. It is a common activity to happen in Elementary school, or in Families with younger kids on Saint Patrick’s Day, Leprechauns are known to have gold, so to catch one would lead to great wealth. There are many varieties of traps. Since Leprechauns are mythical creatures, they cannot get trapped, but instead leave behind gold, or other signs they have visited. Leprechaun Trapping can be compared to leaving cookies out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. The traps are set up the night before St. Patrick's Day.
== History ==
According to Irish folklore, Leprechauns were very hard workers. And because they work so hard and are very thrifty, maybe even misers, Leprechauns are said to be very rich. They have accumulated a lot of gold and buried it in pots. Irish folklore suggests that these "Pots of Gold" were buried at the end of a rainbow.〔()〕
According to Leprechaun legend, if someone was smart enough to capture one of these sly little fairies, and keeps an eye fixed upon him, he cannot escape, but the moment the gaze is withdrawn, he vanishes. If you ask him where his treasure is buried while he is captured, he must be truthful and honest and tell you the location of his treasure. Legend also has it that Leprechauns are shoemakers and you can tell if a Leprechaun is near if you hear the tapping of their hammers.〔()〕
