, and we've been reading it nearly every day for a week. In it, a little mouse is visiting his Irish cousins for St. Patrick's Day and he learns about leprechauns. Phee thinks the leprechaun is hilarious, and we've been pretending that she is a leprechaun running through the house for us to catch. She holds her wand in one hand like a shillelagh and in the other she has all her gold doubloons in a teeny black pot. It's a riot.I put together this printable template so that Phee could make her own little leprechaun. It turned out to be absolutely adorable. He's now gracing the inside of our front door and I love seeing him whenever we leave.
We added a body, shillelagh, and pot of gold to complete our picture. Print out the PDF template, cut out the shapes, and then let your kid's imagination run!
