This year we tired a design that would send a basket over the Leprechaun when he least expects it, trapping him until we wake up in the morning. Tim and Milan came up with the basket-trap idea, using string looped around the highest staircase railing, triggered by a Lego-release mechanism. With the mechanical design in place, Milan and I spent every afternoon last week preparing the rainbow decorations and painting the gold rocks to lure the Leprechaun into the trap.
The final trap set-up
When the Leprechaun grabs the gold Lego, surrounded by our painted rocks, it triggers the basket to fall
Unfortunately, the Leprechaun outsmarted us again. He knew all about Lego and rearranged them to prop up the basket. He even used Milan's scissors to cut the string, and left little green footprints all around the trap. He took our gold rocks but left a pile of green Skittles and gum drops.
Milan is happy with green candy instead of a pot of gold
Next year - no Lego! (Please note the use of the word "Lego" when referring to the plural. I am learning the Lego Lingo...)
