On St. Patrick’s Day, I’m going to make an official leprechaun hunt for my 4-year-old. I’m sure his brother will join him on the adventure. I decided to create these adorable leprechaun binoculars to help my 4-year-old on his fun hunt. This activity can be done indoors or outside depending on the weather. I am going to tape leprechaun feet I purchased at Target throughout the house for the boys to follow. At the end of the hunt, there will be a leprechaun trap filled with goodies. These fun activities make holidays so special with the boys. I’m sure your family will enjoy them too! Follow the steps below to create your own leprechaun binoculars for St. Patrick’s Day.
