Cover the coffee container with construction paper. You can glue the paper to the container or tape it.

Fill the container with paper shred about ¾ full.

Add a few foam shapes and gold coins in the container.

Glue or tape a shamrock and gold coins to the lid of the container. Use strong tape to attach the lid to the container.

Use a popsicle stick to pry the lid open on the container. You can set the popsicle stick on top of a few items (I used the foam gold coins) to help it to stay propped up.

To create the ladder, use two yellow popsicle sticks. Glue mini popsicle sticks to the back. Set aside to dry. Once dry, prop the ladder up against the container.

Place other shiny gold or green objects around the container and set out to try to catch a Leprechaun!
