St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so at school, the first- and second-graders will start building their leprechaun traps! We get to bring to school boxes, cardboard tubes, and whatever items would make a good leprechaun trap.
Gold coins would make for good bait in a leprechaun trap. I pulled out some of the leftover paper from Sarah’s and my wedding. I pulled out one gold metallic sheet. And one bronze metallic sheet. Both from Paper Source. Using my hole punch, I got 64 circles from each sheet of paper.
I seem to recall that each sheet of paper roughly costs about $1. So getting 64 circles from one sheet… I could have just used pennies, and we could have 100 real pennies instead! (Ah, well, it’s more fun to use the play coins. Easier to glue. The kids can draw on them.)
