Two-Elf Tug-of-War
Two elves, one cozy sock, and a very serious disagreement.
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a short sock
- a strip of tape
- a few books
How to set it up
- Put a strip of tape on the table as the center line, and set the note beside it.
- Sit an elf on each side, each leaning back against a small stack of books.
- Wrap each end of the sock around an elf's hands, tuck it under their arm, and pull it tight.
Safety check
Use a sock, never a scarf, ribbon or string: those can wrap around a toddler's neck. Keep the book stacks low and steady. Painter's or masking tape won't mark the table. How we check
Note from your elf: We pulled all night and the sock won. Your turn: towel tug-of-war after school!
