What you need

  • two toy cars
  • a big book
  • paper and tape

How to set it up

  1. Lean a big book against the couch as a ramp and tape a paper finish line on the floor below.
  2. Set two toy cars just past the finish line, one barely ahead of the other.
  3. Seat an elf on each car, as if they just zoomed down.

Safety check

Pick a side of the couch away from walkways, so nobody steps on a car at night. For toddlers, use cars too big to fit in a mouth. How we check

Two elf dolls on toy cars just past a paper finish line at the bottom of a book ramp.

Note from your elf: Photo finish! We both say we won. Can you be the judge?
