How to use it
Pick the trap note or the gold note, and type your child’s name.
Change any words you like, then print it.
Leave it by the trap or on the table, with a few gold coins or a little harmless mischief, like a tipped-over chair.
Questions parents ask
What’s a leprechaun trap?
A little box or contraption kids build to try to catch a leprechaun the night before St. Patrick’s Day. The leprechaun always escapes, and the note explains how.
What should the leprechaun leave behind?
Many families leave a few gold coins, a trail of tiny green footprints, or a bit of mischief, like a tipped-over chair or a sock on the lamp.
Can I change the words?
Yes. Everything in the letter can be edited before you print, so it can sound just right for your child.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
