Safety check

Pick a low shelf kids can see without climbing, and keep your elf off the food. How we check

An elf doll on a low fridge shelf beside a pad of sticky notes and a marker, with sticky notes on the food, including one on the egg carton that says DO NOT JUGGLE.

Note from your elf: Everything is labeled now. I even labeled the light. You are welcome!
