follow the rainbow

Last Year's leprechaun treasure hunt was pretty tough to beat.  But the kids remembered that, and the expectation was there, so I had to try.  (I went easy on myself and did NOT bake anything remotely rainbow-ed this year).  At the last and most opportune moment, Jordan Ferney posted this idea, and I loved it and I ran with it.

With a rainbow yarn trail,  the leprechaun only had to write one poem, and the treasure hunt took off. I wish you could have seen the ridiculous adorableness of our gentleman toting along behind his brothers.

They woke up to a rainbow attached to their doorknob and a poem informing them of the "rules" (aka - don't make a tangled mess of the yarn please)

Then they just had to follow it all over the house to find hidden treasures of the green variety
