Enjoy Mac Kid Shreveport's Leprechaun Lure Recipe & FREE Printable Tag: Spread joy to your child & their Shreveport - Bossier buddies this St Patrick's Day with this treat

 

At our house, St. Patrick's Day has ALWAYS been a big deal. Each year, our home is invaded by the mischievous leprechaun and antics ensue.

You can probably guess that my kids want to try and CATCH that poor pesky Leprechaun and see if they can get in on that whole treasure he is said to hoard!

Each year, my kids build a leprechaun trap in hope of finally catching that elusive leprechaun (and snagging some of his treasure) on St. Patrick's Day.  

This is a fun tradition that my kids LOVE sharing with their friends all over the Shreveport - Bossier area, so every year, we make packages of Leprechaun Lure for them to share at school with their classmates.

This year, we decided to jazz things up a bit and created this cute free printable tag to attach to the little bags for even more fun.

If you don't eat the leftovers before St. Patrick's Day rolls around, leave some out in a small dish inside your leprechaun trap and let us know if you catch a leprechaun!

Who knows, maybe you will get lucky THIS year and finally catch that elusive little Leprechaun!  

If nothing more, perhaps he will leave you a few chocolate coins if you're super lucky!

Good luck, last year, ours got a tad naughty and went on a spree turning all of our milk green, even in our cereal bowls! We hope our pancakes aren't next THIS year!
