Leprechaun Traps

It's that time of year when leprechaun's are about, and the only way to win their pot of gold is to set a trap that will fool even the cleverest, little, luck-bringer! This experience begins with reading and learning the history of St. Patrick’s Day, along with a silly St Patrick’s Day story. Building reading comprehension and writing skills throughout, children will be engaged with arts and crafts and making their very own leprechaun — for trap-testing purposes, of course! Designing and implementing a leprechaun trap is no easy feat, and kids will work together with Lauren and one another to bounce ideas off each other and come up with a trap that's sure to trick an unsuspecting leprechaun. Now what to do with all that gold? Using Lucky Charms math and STEM challenges complete with rainbows and gold coins, children will account for their well-earned riches!

What Parents Are Saying

Lauren was absolutely fabulous! Great person...felt very comfortable leaving my daughter with her. My daughter loved her and had a fabulous time.

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how Lauren led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Lauren was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

As usual, Teacher Lauren was incredible! She worked closely with us to plan the perfect custom themed Mario Bros. birthday party for our seven year old daughter. She was collaborative, creative, enthusiastic, and delivered an exceptional experience. We have had her run numerous activities and birthday parties for us so far, and she never disappoints.

Great support and loved that everything was via text. Also my daughter had a fabulous time - so much more exciting than a typical babysitting session.

Our daughter (10 year old) absolutely loved it! She loved the activities and said the teacher asked her questions about herself and she felt the teacher was interested in hearing her thoughts on the project. Overall she said it was a ‘blast”! We will definitely be booking again.
