Originally reviewed on TPTCutest St. Patty’s Activity!
I was looking for a simple but fun activity to go with the story “How to Catch a Leprechaun” and your resource was perfect! My students had a lot of fun designing their leprechaun traps. I assembled the step book for them to save time but had them add the legs, feet, and coins after coloring them. This resource is a 10/10! You’ve gained a new follower!
