6 Creative Activities For Kids With Leprechaun Coloring Pages

Leprechauns are magical creatures that help stimulate children’s imagination. Let your children have fun and get creative with the fun activities below to get the most out of their Leprechaun coloring sheets.

These activities are entertaining and encourage imaginative storytelling and imaginative play revolving around the strange world of leprechauns.

Create A Leprechaun Maze

According to our suggestions, children will try their hand at an exciting game with the leprechaun maze. You will choose two coloring pages with contrasting backgrounds. One page will become the maze platform and the other will provide the path.

The maze background page will have clearer lines. You will sketch a simple maze on the back of the page to ensure a clear start and end leading to the drawn pot of gold. Cut out different details from the second coloring page, such as the shamrock, leprechaun, a pot of gold or a rainbow.

These details will make up the maze’s obstacles. Once the maze is complete, you can decorate the front by coloring the background.

Turn Into A Coloring Book

To start this idea, you’ll choose the pages you want to include in your coloring book and then print them out on white paper. You will arrange the coloring pages in order or mix different designs to create variety.

A book with an impressive cover will be very attractive to children. You can print a large leprechaun, add some pots of gold, shamrocks or a rainbow and write the title “Leprechaun Coloring Book” on a piece of cardboard.

Once your cover is ready, stack the coloring pages and staple them along one edge. You can leave a blank page so children can write their names or in their diaries.

Make A Leprechaun Puppet

Most children love funny puppets. Parents can create fun for their children by using colored leprechaun images to let children create their own puppets. The steps to implement this idea are quite simple.

You’ll choose a coloring page and let your kids color it however they like. Then, cut the leprechaun and sew the border. Instruct your child to apply glue to the back of the leprechaun, focusing on the body and head.

The next step is to securely attach the craft stick to the back of the figure. You can add other details like a shamrock hat, beer mug or pipe to make the puppet stand out more.

If you want the puppet to move with your fingers, punch two holes in the bottom of the leprechaun’s feet and string a piece of string through the holes to create loops for the fingers.

Hunt Leprechauns

Try playing with your children and enjoy the fun of catching leprechauns for luck in Irish culture. First of all, you need to print and color the Leprechaun pages.

The more coloring pages you have, the more leprechauns you must “catch”. Once painted, cut out the leprechaun shapes and hide them in secret places indoors or outdoors.

You will split into two teams or play alone. You will count the number of leprechauns each team catches, and the team with the most ones will win.

Play Leprechaun Word Search

You can turn our Leprechaun-themed coloring pages into an educational activity for your children. You will create or print out a search grid on a grab sheet to start the idea.

Then, make a list of vocabulary words related to Leprechaun and St. Patrick, such as “rainbow”, “shamrock”, “pot of gold”, and “green beer”.

You’ll hide these words in the search grid and ensure they overlap other letters. While playing word search, children can color the elf images to increase the fun of the activity.

Build A Leprechaun City

Finally, turn your home or classroom into a magical land by building a Leprechaun city. You need to choose and print many coloring pages of leprechaun in many different positions. Color the pages with vivid colors.

You prepare a cardboard box and draw or paste images of surrounding houses to create a city background. The next step is to cut out the goblin shapes and paste them into the city scene.

These activities by using Leprechaun coloring pages will encourage imagination and creativity making it a perfect choice for a rainy day or a fun St. Patrick’s Day celebration!
