Coffee Filter Parachute Landing
Still in the air at breakfast, your elf is parachuting in under a coffee filter, lined up over the X.
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a coffee filter
- thread or string
- tape
- paper and a marker
How to set it up
- Tape four short threads around the edge of a coffee filter and tie their loose ends to your elf's wrists.
- Tape a thread loop on top of the filter and hang it from an upper cupboard knob, so your elf floats above the counter.
- Draw a big X on a sheet of paper and set it on the counter below as the landing zone.
Safety check
Keep the thread out of reach of babies and toddlers, and take it down after breakfast. How we check
Note from your elf: Coming in for a landing! The North Pole winds were wild, but I made it.
