For school this year Alia had to make a leprechaun trap. She started out by drawing the design she wanted to use to capture her leprechaun. Next she headed to Granny's, our thrift store and picked out the perfect materials for the trap. Finally, she and Scott spent a few days putting it together. I was impressed with her design. She wanted to make sure that the leprechaun never got the gold so she and Scott figured out how to make the gold disappear when the trap fell.
They created a pulley system using 2 spools of thread and some rope. The gold is connected to the cage so when it falls, the gold snaps to the back of the box.

Love it! Alia is so creative. She got some of the teacher from you and engineer from Scott:-)
