Leprechaun Trap

Maddie worked really hard on her leprechaun trap this year. All second graders make one to try and trap a leprechaun at school. It has to include "a machine" like a pulley. She had a week to come up with a plan, try it out, and make it work. She and Eric talked about all sorts of options, they messed with pulleys and sticks and ropes and blocks and tinkertoys. In the end, a box, a few tinker toys, a block and a pulley worked.


Then she found the extra green felt from the artsy closet and some pipecleaners. I picked up the confetti and sparkle stickers for some decoration. It was an exciting St. Patty's Day for her! We didn't get around to making a trap at home...next year!
