St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time for a little adventure, and what better way to celebrate than with a Leprechaun Treasure Hunt? Whether you spread the excitement over a few days leading up to March 17th or plan one big hunt with family and friends, this activity brings plenty of fun and surprises!
How to Set Up Your Leprechaun Treasure Hunt
Option 1: The St. Patrick’s Day Countdown Hunt
If you want to build excitement all week long, set up a mini treasure hunt each day leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. Each morning, leave a small clue for your child, leading them to a hidden surprise like:
- A gold chocolate coin
-
A mini shamrock sticker
-
A note from the leprechaun with a silly joke
-
A fun St. Patrick’s Day activity
On the final day (March 17th), the last clue can lead to a pot of gold (a small basket filled with goodies like a Buggy Bag, green treats, or a special toy)!
Option 2: One Big St. Patrick’s Day Hunt
If you would rather go big with one exciting scavenger hunt, create a series of clues leading kids to different spots around the house or yard. Each clue can be written on a shamrock, hidden inside a green envelope, or tucked under a gold coin. End the hunt with a special treasure - maybe even a St. Patrick’s Day Buggy Bag filled with screen-free activities to keep the fun going!
Make It Even More Magical
- Invite friends or cousins to join in on the adventure! A group hunt makes the experience even more exciting.
-
Add mischief! The leprechaun might leave behind tiny green footprints (made with washable paint or green paper cutouts) or a little mess, like tipped-over shoes or misplaced toys.
-
Get creative with the prizes: stickers, books, or even a homemade ‘Lucky Certificate’ are great non-candy options.
Buggy Bags: The Perfect St. Patrick’s Day Treasure!
After all the treasure hunting fun, give kids a Lucky Bug Buggy Bag as a special St. Patrick's Day surprise! It's a mess-free, travel-friendly activity bag filled with fun, creative play perfect for keeping little ones entertained after all that excitement.
