Happy St. Patrick's Day! When I taught kindergarten all the kindergartners at Amelia Earhart School, where I taught (and attended as a kid!!) were asked to construct leprechaun traps and bring them to school for show-and-tell. I was amazed how creative the parents were! Ha ha. Some of the teachers and kids made leprechaun burgers to try to entice the little leprechauns into their traps. In most cases, the kids would find sparkly green leprechaun tracks leading up to the traps (green washable paint with glitter) but no leprechauns. Those little guys were sure sneaky!
leprechaun burgers
bun: Nilla wafers
patty: York peppremint patties (miniature)
lettuce: coconut dyed with green food coloring (shake together in a resealable bag)
sesame seeds:"glue" to the tops of the burgers with honey
You can serve these burgers with the little shoestring potato chips- they look like miniature french fries. This would also be a great surprise for April Fool's Day.
oh my goodness, too cute! In a mini pot of gold no less. Thank you!
