Easy Leprechaun Trap and Bait Recipe For Kids

March 5, 2019

Looking for an Easy Leprechaun Trap and Bait Recipe For Kids? You’ve come to the right place!

Making themed food and crafts is always enjoyable, especially when it’s fast, easy, and kid-friendly!

While celebrations like the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Christmas have a plethora of festive treats and projects, holidays like St. Patrick’s Day are often forgotten.

Of course, there are parades and parties, but families don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day like they do the other holidays.

Get in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day by wearing green from head to toe and working with your family to catch a leprechaun with this free, printable leprechaun trap!

And then go make this Leprechaun Bait, the perfect kid-friendly Saint Patrick’s Day treat!

Personal Creations made a delicious recipe for this snack bait and created printables to help catch your leprechaun too. The first step to catching a leprechaun is to make a delicious snack to act as bait.

Be sure to make extra because you and your little ones will love it as well! A salty and sweet treat mix is the traditional lure, but there is also a yummy healthy option.

Simply mix together square rice cereal, popcorn, pretzels, marshmallows, chocolate candies, melted white chocolate (with green food coloring), and green sprinkles.

Rainbow Party Ideas {Make Easy Rainbow Treats}

February 26, 2018

Rainbow parties and crafts are so trendy right now and I love creating clever and easy rainbow party ideas. This easy rainbow treat takes only three ingredients, and is perfect for a rainbow themed party or even St. Patrick’s Day!

Rainbow themed parties are so fun! If you’re looking for easy rainbow party ideas, these easy treats are for you! With just three ingredients, they’re perfect for a fun treat or a favor. Just place some in a glassine bag and tie with some rainbow ribbon!

Here’s the easy and quick recipe!

What you need:

These are so simple to make. Just preheat your oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place your pretzels flat on your baking sheet, and top each one with a candy melt.

Place in the oven for about 3 minutes–you don’t want to melt your candy melts, you just want to soften them a bit!

Pull them out of the oven, and carefully place one rainbow candy in the center of each, pressing down slightly.

Let cool (I placed mine in the refrigerator so that they’d cool a bit more quickly), and enjoy!

So easy and so delicious! Such an easy treat idea for your rainbow themed party or rainbow-loving friend!

Looking for more rainbow party ideas? We have plenty of inspiration!

A rainbow fringe wreath is a super easy and CUTE way to celebrate all things rainbow! You only need a few supplies and about an hour to put this together!

Our printables are so easy to download and print out. Just follow these steps:

Click on the file you’d like to download, and save to your computer.
Send to your favorite photo printer to have printed on either matte cardstock or photo glossy paper (at-home printing is, of course, an option, but I find professional printers usually print colors and images more vividly and clearly).
These files print best at 8×10.
Download, print, and frame!

I often get asked about what frames I use for the art around my home–this set of 7 solid wood frames is my go-to; you can see them in action in this gallery wall post!

Basically, I love frames that are white, flat, and matted. Simple, in my opinion, is best!
