To paint the ladder, I used OOLY's Chunkies Paint Sticks as an alternative to traditional paint. Not only is this method mess-free and fun, but it also creates vivid colors!

Additionally, these products dry quickly which is a blessing since children rarely have the patience to wait for glue-gun projects!

Leprechauns have a fondness for gold and glittering items, so instead of the conventional gold chocolate coins, I chose shiny golden beads that looked like nuggets from far away and placed them inside mini glass containers. To sweeten their surprise even further, I added candy lollipop rainbows to my gift basket!
