Ribbon Rope Climb
Your elf is climbing the tree on a ribbon rope, halfway to the top.
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a long ribbon
How to set it up
- Tie a long ribbon to a sturdy branch near the top so it hangs down the side of the tree.
- Loop the ribbon once around your elf's hands and rest their feet on a branch halfway up, as if mid-climb.
Safety check
Tie the ribbon to a sturdy branch and make sure the tree stands steady. Keep your elf and the ribbon off the lights, and turn the lights off overnight. How we check
Note from your elf: Next stop: the star! Climbing is hard work for tiny arms.
