Enjoy Mac Kid Shreveport's Leprechaun Lure Recipe & FREE Printable Tag

At our house, St. Patrick's Day has ALWAYS been a big deal. Each year, our home is invaded by the mischievous leprechaun and antics ensue.

You can probably guess that my kids want to try and CATCH that poor pesky Leprechaun and see if they can get in on that whole treasure he is said to hoard!

Each year, my kids build a leprechaun trap in hope of finally catching that elusive leprechaun (and snagging some of his treasure) on St. Patrick's Day.  

This is a fun tradition that my kids LOVE sharing with their friends all over the Shreveport - Bossier area, so every year, we make packages of Leprechaun Lure for them to share at school with their classmates.

This year, we decided to jazz things up a bit and created this cute free printable tag to attach to the little bags for even more fun.  

You can print these out on plain white printer paper OR try different colors of cardstock for added weight and variety.

Just punch a hole in one corner and tie them them to little bags of our Leprechaun Lure (recipe below!) to create the ultimate festive St. Patrick's Day snack to enjoy with your family & friends AND hopefully catch that pesky little leprechaun in the act!
