First and foremost, we have green milk. A few drops of green food coloring into the milk. I hope to have only part of a gallon so we can finish it in a day or so, but have been known to dye only one glass worth for my daughter.
Other ideas we have used or plan to use:
- Swap throw pillows between living room and family room
- Move chairs between dining room and kitchen
- Move place mats around the table
- Hang things upside down - pictures, things on the refrigerator
- Move refrigerator magnets to the front door or the washing machine
- Park cars on the opposite side of the garage, even swapping cars for the day
- Move the car seat to a different position in the car (still in a safe location)
When she was young, I marked each bit of mischief with a section of green streamers to make it easier for her to find. You could also leave a small treat at each location (a shamrock sticker, a piece of "gold"). For pieces of gold, you can use yellow M&Ms or jelly beans.
What type of Leprechaun mischief is done at your house?
