Ornament Ball Pit

A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need

- shatterproof ornaments
How to set it up
- Take about 20 shatterproof ball ornaments off the lowest branches, remove the hooks, and pile them into a large bowl under the tree.
- Sit your elf in the middle, sunk to its waist, with its arms spread out across the ornaments.
Safety check
Use shatterproof ornaments with the metal hooks taken off, and keep small ones away from babies and toddlers. How we check
Note from your elf: Best. Ball pit. Ever. The tree said I could borrow them. Probably.
