It’s time to embrace the mischief that a Leprechaun can bring. That may just mean making little green footprints on the bathroom floor or even on the toilet seat with some green food coloring in the toilet (hee hee)! <<I used to do this when I taught first grade, the kids would freak out!

I always made them on foggy windows too, but I never thought to do them with paint for leprechaun footprints. Totally going to do it this weekend.
So cute!
Frosted windows on yhe school bus was my spot of choice. I have to be careful with elf on the shelf letters i have typed on my computer as well as Pinterest.
We will definitely try it with our preschoolers in our upcoming preschool activity. Thanks for this wonderful idea.
