Saint Patricks Day Nails

Today we celebrated Saint Patricks day at school. We needed to paint our nails (as always) for the Holiday. One hand has  shamrocks , the other hand I called dibs on and wanted to try something new. This is what we came up with:

Using a couple of toothpicks, I made a rainbow on four of her fingers (and a small portion of her thumb). Then I made a black pot and we actually had gold glitter colored polish for the top.  It may not be as fancy as some of the other amazing nail artists out there, but they are working on adult fingers :)

Leprechaun trap

This is only our second year actually making a trap for the leprechaun. All the years before that we decorated and the leprechaun would leave chocolate coins at the end of our rainbow from our Decorations.

To make our trap this year we used an empty coffee container covered in green construction paper.
From the previous decorations we had some rainbows that we taped to the sides. My oldest made the sign "The Lucky Charm Cafe"  and drawings of different lucky charms around it as well. To get up to the top, we made used our lego ladder pieces and taped it down.

We kept the lid and taped a lego made table onto it and filled it with Lucky Charms (just the marshmallows) Then we made a flap shaped cut in it and then covered it with a welcome mat. This way the leprechaun won't know and step on it, falling into our trap.
