Couch Cushion Fort
Your elf built a couch cushion fort overnight. The sign says NO GROWN-UPS ALLOWED... unless they dance!
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- couch cushions
- a blanket
- paper and a marker
How to set it up
- Stand the couch cushions on their sides on the floor in front of the couch, as walls, with the couch as the back wall.
- Drape a blanket from the couch over the cushions as a roof, leaving a gap in front as the door.
- Sit your elf on the arm of the couch, and prop a paper sign by the door: NO GROWN-UPS ALLOWED (UNLESS THEY DANCE).
Safety check
Keep the fort low, on the floor and away from stairs, so it can't tip onto anyone. How we check
Note from your elf: Kids, come on in! Grown-ups: one silly dance, then you may enter.
