Leprechaun Trap

Clifford had a school project to make a Leprechaun Trap. Pete and I were soooo excited to help him out with this (our boys are so lucky to have an engineer for a dad and a very crafty mom). The only restriction was the trap couldn't be bigger than their desk. Clifford and Pete did some brainstorming and drew up some ideas. Clifford had to write a proposal and turn it in to his teacher before bringing in the trap. The weekend prior we made a family trip to Wal-Mart and Joann Fabrics for supplies. Then this past Sunday evening after we returned from our trip to Yakima, Clifford (with a little bit of our help) started building his trap. It was so much fun. Ever since my boys were babies, I've been anxiously WAITING for the day to come where I could get in and help them with school projects (seriously!). And the trap (in our opinion) turned out brilliantly!!! Clifford and I even made a cut-out Leprechaun to put in the trap as a visual. Clifford took his project to school today, and either tomorrow or Friday he'll present it to his class.
