What you need

  • a clean fuzzy sock from your child's drawer
  • a tissue
  • a sticky note

How to set it up

  1. Slide your elf into one of your child's clean, fuzzy socks, tucked in like a sleeping bag.
  2. Fold a tissue into a pillow and tuck it under their head.
  3. Write the note on a sticky note and stick it right next to them.

Safety check

A sock, a tissue and a sticky note: nothing small or hard a toddler could choke on. If you have a dog, set the scene up high, since socks are a favorite thing to chew and swallow. How we check

Note from your elf: Borrowed your coziest sock. I'll give it back tonight. Please do not disturb!
