A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- wrapped gifts
- paper and a marker
- scissors
How to set it up
- Draw a magnifying glass about the size of your palm on paper, and cut it out.
- Sit your elf against a wrapped gift under the tree.
- Tuck the handle under one arm, with the glass over a gift tag.
Safety check
Use a paper magnifying glass, not a real one: a real lens in sunlight can scorch paper. How we check
Note from your elf: Checking the spelling on the tags. All correct. Very important work.
