How to set it up

  1. Sit your elf on a kitchen or bathroom scale, leaning against the wall so they stay put.
  2. Cover the scale's display with a sticky note that says: TOO MUCH MAGIC!

Safety check

Keep a bathroom scale by the wall, off the path to the toilet. With a toddler, check the battery cover is shut: button batteries are dangerous if swallowed. How we check

An elf doll sitting on a scale against a wall, with a sticky note over the display that says TOO MUCH MAGIC.

Note from your elf: I only wanted to weigh my magic. The scale says I have WAY too much!
