Leprechaun house from a strawberry basket

We like to call this a leprechaun house and not a trap because it is a place a leprechaun would like to stay and relax.

A clean strawberry basket turned up-side-down and with a door cut into one side is a good start. Just draw and color a rainbow and a pot of gold, cut them out, and staple them to the back inside of the leprechaun house.

There's a house with a cozy pot of gold feeling for your local leprechaun.

I'm looking through my past posts and noticed that we used staples to secure the pot of gold to the basket and truely staples attach the paper to the basket easier than glue or tape. To keep little fingers from playing with the back of the staples and getting pricked it might be nice to put a few pieces of transparent tape over the staples behind the pot of gold. It'll make the leprechauns feel more  comfy and secure too if they want to play in their backyard. ;)
