Maddie's leprechaun trap 2006

this year it was an assignment in second grade as opposed to her own motivation. She had to design & build then write a description of materials used & instructions for use. They were all displayed in the school cafeteria on 16 March & then left in the classrooms overnight in hopes of capture. No luck again this year :P




she wanted it to be deep so the leprechaun couldn't escape 


but then she felt bad that the leprechaun would be trapped all weekend so she made it comfy w/ a bed and pillow & carpet. 


a pot of "silver" to entice. Said leprechaun will pull on the yarn as he slides down in. The yarn will pull over the chopstick which props the lid. 


and a sitting area with a 20p coin on it
