  • 5 min
  • A little mess
  • Easy
  • Ages 4–7, Ages 8+

What you need

  • a bowl
  • mini marshmallows
  • a washcloth

How to set it up

  1. Fill a bowl to the brim with mini marshmallows and set it on the bathroom counter.
  2. Sit your elf inside, arms on the edge, and spill a handful of marshmallows around the bowl like overflowing bubbles.
  3. Drape a washcloth over the edge as a towel.

Safety check

Mini marshmallows are a choking risk for kids under 4. With little ones in the house, fill the bowl with cotton balls instead, and keep the scene up where a baby or toddler can't reach it. How we check

Note from your elf: Oops, I used too much bubble bath. Please do not drink my bath!
