Magic by Morning Tonight

Snow Day at the North Pole

All flights from the North Pole were canceled, so your elf stayed right where they were.

A 2-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.

What you need

  • a tissue
  • a sticky note

How to set it up

  1. Leave your elf exactly where they are and tuck a tissue around them like a blanket.
  2. Set the note beside them, handwritten or printed.

Safety check

Only a tissue and a sticky note, nothing small or hard for a toddler. If your elf is up high, set the note somewhere low the kids can read without climbing. If your elf is by the tree lights or a lamp, keep the tissue off the bulbs. How we check

An elf doll tucked under a tissue blanket on a shelf, next to a small folded note.

Note from your elf: Snow day at the North Pole! All flights canceled. Back on duty tonight.
