Leprechaun Tricks

Usually when Leprechauns visit someone’s Happy Home, they like to leave their mark with a wee bit o’ trickery.

Here are some things that these sneaky little men have been known to do…

• Sprinkle green glitter everywhere to mark their path
• Turn things upside down and topsy-turvy (turn over chairs, flip picture frames over, reverse couch/chair cushions, dump out a drawer and its contents, etc.)
• Leave doors and cabinets open
• Unravel toilet paper
• Switch every day items (put shoes in the fridge and the milk by the door)
• Leave bits of their green clothing (felt) stuck in the windows and doors because they sometimes get stuck as they hurry away!!
• Leave green footprints – directions HERE
• Steal all of the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms (I am not kidding, this happened to one of my Happy Home friends!)
• Turn the toilet water green (inspired by 24/7MOMs)
• Turn milk and other foods green – go HERE for a complete list of green-themed food
• Turn your plain cupcakes into rainbow cupcakes – directions HERE
• Leave a few green streaks in Mom’s hair (using green washable spray hair coloring)!

Another cute idea that I found over at Secrets of a Super Mommy is to have the Leprechauns leave treasures in your Happy Buddies’ shoes!  Leprechauns are shoemakers, you know, and they seem to really have a fetish for them!
