What you need

  • big magnets or sticky notes
  • ribbon or string
  • tape

How to set it up

  1. Stick big magnets or folded sticky notes up the top half of the fridge door as climbing holds.
  2. Tie a ribbon around your elf's middle and tape the other end on top of the fridge, so they hang among the holds.
  3. Tape one of their hands under the hold above their head, reaching for the next one.

Safety check

Use big magnets only: small magnets are dangerous if swallowed. Keep your elf and the ribbon high, out of reach, and take the ribbon down after breakfast. How we check

An elf doll hanging high on a fridge from a ribbon, one hand pinned under a magnet as if climbing.

Note from your elf: Almost at the top! Next time I'm taking the elevator.
