How do you explain Leprechauns to kids?

A leprechaun is a little Irish fairy who wears a shoemaker’s outfit. Leprechauns are rude little men that live alone in the woods, manufacturing shoes and guarding their gold hoard. If you catch a leprechaun, he’ll be forced to reveal the whereabouts of his gold pots.

What is the story of Leprechauns?

A leprechaun is typically shown as a bearded man dressed in a green suit and wearing a hat. The Leprechaun, according to legend, is a shoemaker who spends most of his time manufacturing and repairing shoes.
