Catch a Leprechaun
Leprechauns are so sneaky and fun. Your children will squeal with delight when they discover all of the mishaps that come about after a visit from the leprechaun. Oh my, who turned over that chair? Look at that picture. It’s upside down! That baby doll shouldn’t be up on the bookshelf!
