How to Build a Leprechaun Trap

By Larissa Juliano

Book Overview

Build contraptions, imagine outcomes, and outwit a leprechaun with this festive STEM craft book for young creators.

How to Build a Leprechaun Trap combines creativity, critical thinking, and holiday excitement to help young makers tackle the ultimate St. Patrick's Day challenge--catching a clever leprechaun

Inside, kids will discover 16 hands-on trap projects; each with step-by-step instructions, clear diagrams, and bright, full-color photos to guide their builds. Every activity weaves in real STEM concepts--like basic engineering, pattern recognition, and problem-solving--while staying playful with rainbows, shamrocks, pots of gold, and festive fun.

Children will gain confidence and independence as they build, test, and customize their own traps using simple household materials. Along the way they'll find space to invent their own designs, plus bonus extras like leprechaun trick ideas and easy holiday snack recipes to keep the fun going beyond the crafts.

Whether used in a classroom celebration or at the kitchen table, this interactive book turns March 17 into a screen-free, memory-making adventure that will keep "devious young scientists, engineers, and crafters... solidly occupied." (Kirkus Reviews)

Inspire imagination, build STEM skills, and make St. Patrick's Day unforgettable.
