With St. Patrick's Day upon us, the kids wanted to make sure the leprechaun had a place to stay if he came to visit.
So I checked our craft supplies and settled on popsicle sticks as our construction material of choice. 
A little bit of glue and a little help lining up the sticks and we had walls:
I cut down a piece of lumber from my Valentine's day sign to the exact width of the walls and we glued them in place:
We made sure to leave him a door so he could actually get in:The girls then went on to make a separate fenced area for the leprechaun's dog (I didn't know that leprechauns had dogs, but you learn something every day):
And then the girls decorated the outside of the house with 2 entire packs of St. Patty's stickers:
Finally we added a rug, some furniture, and a teddy bear so the leprechaun would feel right at home:
Of course we need to also live him a vintage fisher price van and a dog house for his dog!
Pretty sure he is going to leave the girls some gold coins for all their trouble!

Cute! I didn't know about the dogs either! :)
ReplyDeleteLast weekend I was also doing crafts but for Easter! I asked my son to help me with some little baskets made out the same sticks! He built just one! after that one he began building his own ship! No more baskets! :(
I wasn't too happy, but he was!
