When my kiddies were small, a leprechaun used to come to our house and turn Cool Whip green!  Our leprechaun left a container of Cool Whip on the counter while we were gone.  Below you will find a note he left.  It’s such a fun thing to do and the kids literally can’t believe their eyes.

Here’s the trick:  Buy a container of Cool Whip. DON’T open it.  Turn the container upside down and poke a nail hole in the bottom. Add 3-4 drops of green food coloring in the hole.  Clean the container of any spills and cover with white duct tape if possible.  If not masking tape will do.

Make sure your children open the Cool Whip.

It’s always fun to leave a little treat for the leprechaun.  I saw “elf donuts” on Pinterest and thought they could easily be made into a leprechaun treat.  The donuts are made out of frosted Cheerios.  If you leave a fun treat for the leprechaun to sample, I bet he’d leave you one!

 I’m a leprechaun!  Hooray for me!

I’ve brought a trick for you to see,

I know you won’t believe your eyes,

My trick’s so fine–A BIG surprise.

But you must do some things for me,

If my trick you want to see.

Tap your head and turn around,

stomp your feet upon the ground.

Clap your hands, (your’e doing fine).

Now you’ve got to say this rhyme:

” I believe in the leprechaun man,

he’ll show me some green just as fast as he can.”

Take the lid off the cream,

stir with all of your might,

and it will change colors,

if you did it right!

* Sometimes a leprechaun leaves chairs upside down or leaves a mess in another area of the house!
