We have created two options in one for you with this simple leprechaun trap printable.

First, we have a black-and-white version. This is ideal for letting your family create their own trap. Simply print this house on cardstock for each member of your family and let the creativity begin!

Don’t be exclusive in your decorating. Add glitter, string, pom poms, or anything else you can think of to make your leprechaun trap special! Remember leprechauns love shiny things.

Next, we have a full-color version. If you are looking for a leprechaun trap that is quick and easy, you have come to the right place! This house requires less time because you don’t have to decorate it. That is done for you! It’s a quick and easy option for a family activity.

We recommend printing the Leprechaun House Trap on cardstock. While it’s possible to print on regular copy paper, using cardstock will ensure a more robust construction for your trap, increasing its chances of successfully capturing a leprechaun.

Carefully cut out the house along the thick lines along the edges of the house. When you get to the dotted line, leave the remaining paper for stability and ease of gluing the house together.

Next, it is time to make some detailed cuts. Cut along the thick lines on the sides of the roof to create the trap door. Then cut the notches in the center of the roof pieces. This is for the rainbow to sit on top of your house. Now that you are done cutting, it is time to fold.

Fold along the vertical wall lines. Then, fold the bottom lines of each side of the house. This will transform your house into a charming 3D leprechaun trap. Fold on the dotted lines along the roof.

Glue the two sides of the house together. Fold the bottom of the house by tucking the flaps into the large bottom piece.

So, you’ve got your Leprechaun House Trap, but let’s talk about the extra goodies that come with it to really up your game in catching those mischievous little guys!

First off, we’ve got a rainbow – yes, a rainbow! Cut it out, fold it, and boom, you’ve got yourself a two-sided rainbow that’s sure to dazzle any passing leprechaun.

Next up, we’ve got a wavy stone path leading right up to your trap. It’s like rolling out the green carpet for your sneaky visitor.

Now, let’s talk tactics. We’ve included a ladder for easy rooftop access. Because let’s face it, those leprechauns aren’t always the most graceful creatures, and they might just tumble right into your trap if they’re not careful.

But wait, there’s more! We’ve got not one, but two wood signs advertising free gold and lucky charms. It’s like offering them the deal of a lifetime – they won’t be able to resist!

And of course, what’s a leprechaun trap without some four-leaf clovers? Scatter those bad boys around your trap for an extra dose of luck.

Last but not least, we’ve included a whole page of gold coins. Use them to create a trail leading straight to your trap and sprinkle some inside for good measure. Because let’s be real, no leprechaun can resist a trail of gold coins – it’s like their kryptonite!

ProTip: The gold coins are 1″ in diameter so you can use a circle punch to make cutting out the coins a breeze.
