Similar to an Easter Egg hunt, we set up a Leprechaun hunt in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. This fun backyard hunt for kids is easy to set up and great for a St. Patrick’s Day party for kids and adults! Kids will love finding the leprechaun treasure, finding clues, and looking for leprechaun sightings! This leprechaun hunt for kids is great during a St. Patrick’s Day party.

Here’s what I used!

St. Patrick’s Day Sunglasses (Leprechaun hunting glasses)

St. Patrick’s Day Party Necklaces

The kids can wear these and also find them around the yard on the hunt!

St. Patrick’s Day Party Favors

We bought a bulk mix of St. Patrick’s Day Party favors for the kids to find during the leprechaun hunt. This pack also comes with temporary tattoos that are fun to do at the party or before a parade.

Leprechaun Footprints – Find a Leprechaun Clue Ideas

We used these adorable stickers in our garage and on our patio to help the kids try and find the leprechaun! They led out to the yard where all the treasures above were hidden.

St.Patrick’s Day Pot of Gold for kids (Bulk)

We used these cute mini-pots as our pot of gold! The kids used these on the leprechaun hunt to find his missing treasures. Whatever they found on the hunt they could store in here as they kept looking for more treasure.

St. Patrick’s Day Party Decor

We tried to keep the party outdoors so we decked out the garage walls with these cool St.Patrick’s Day wall coverings.
