No, we're not jumping ahead to St Patrick's Day! Leprechauns are another relative of elves and can make either a tame or scary Halloween costume! These Irish elves have been made famous by the poet Yeats, Lucky Charms, and horror movies. They're usually tiny, temperamental creatures that spend their lives trying to find that pot of gold. Well, if you haven't had any luck with that, enter the costume contest - winning a pot of chocolate might ease the pain! Leprechauns often have red hair and beards, and wear green suits and top hats. Many work in caves or underground as shoemakers for other fairies. They are enthusiasts of pipes, music and of course, shiny things!
