Tiny Elf Door Arrival
A tiny paper door appeared on the wall overnight, and your elf is sitting right outside it.
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- paper and scissors
- a marker
- painter's or masking tape
How to set it up
- Draw an arched door about as tall as your elf, with a round doorknob, on a sheet of paper and cut it out.
- Tape it to the bottom of a wall, just above the baseboard, with painter's or masking tape.
- Sit your elf on the floor beside the door, as if it just stepped through.
Safety check
Painter's or masking tape comes off without pulling paint. Pick a wall out of the walkway, so nobody steps on your elf at night. How we check
Note from your elf: Secret shortcut from the North Pole! It only opens for elves, so please don't try it.
