Overnight Staring Contest
Your elf challenged a teddy bear to a staring contest. Nobody has blinked all night.
A 2-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a stuffed animal
- a sticky note and a pen
How to set it up
- Sit your elf and a stuffed animal face to face on a table, leaning in until their noses touch so they hold each other up.
- Stick a note between them that says STARING CONTEST. NIGHT 1. NOBODY HAS BLINKED.
Safety check
Soft toys and a sticky note: nothing small, hot or sharp for a toddler to find. Pocket the pen once the sign is written. How we check
Note from your elf: Still not blinking. Neither is the bear. This could take all December.
