I attempted to get a good picture of the three kids after church today. It didn’t work as well as I would have liked, but they did look cute.

Adam combined his snack with a craft and made a St. Patrick’s Day rainbow necklace.

Making the necklace prompted a lot of talk about rainbows, leprechauns, and pots of gold. Adam decided to make a leprechaun trap, so we can try to catch a leprechaun this year. First he drew up his plans, then he got to work building it.

The final product evolved a bit as he was making it, but did stay pretty close to his original sketch.

He made the stairs look like a rainbow, to trick the leprechaun into following them. At the top, we placed a layer of tissue.

Once the leprechaun gets to the top of the rainbow stairs, he will see the gold and run toward it, the tissue will break, and he’ll fall into our trap.

Adam plans on making the leprechaun a rainbow cereal necklace (because he’ll probably be hungry) and then asking him where his gold is hidden.

I’ll let you know how it turns out.
