Elf Escape Room
Your elf built an escape room, shut themselves in a box and left three puzzles to set them free.
A 10-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a shoebox
- ribbon
- paper and a pen
- tape
How to set it up
- Set your elf in a shoebox, lid on loosely so their hat peeks out, and tie a ribbon around it.
- On three paper slips, write a riddle (What has hands but can't clap? A clock), a scrambled word (NOWS: SNOW) and a math problem.
- Tape the slips and the note to the lid.
