To prepare for this activity, first make the little black paper cauldrons or pots. You will need two cauldron shapes to make one leprechaun pot.
Fold a piece of black construction paper in half, and cut out a pot or cauldron shape. By folding the paper, you can cut out multiple leprechaun pots at the same time and they will all be the same size.
Once you have the cauldron shapes cut out, take one and add a thin line of glue around the edge in a “C” shape, leaving the top part free of glue where the opening will be. Place another paper pot shape directly over the one with the glue on it. The top part should open and the bottom part should be sealed so it will hold the paper coins.
