A small elf doll lies face-down on the floor surrounded by scattered Halloween candy wrappers, with a tiny sock stuffed with candy tipped over beside it and a few wrappers stuck to the elf's hands and face as if it fell asleep mid-heist.

About this idea

The elf has raided the kids' Halloween candy stash overnight — wrappers are strewn across the floor, a tiny swag bag made from a sock is stuffed and tipped over, and the elf is slumped face-down beside it, surrounded by the evidence of an epic sugar binge. A few candy wrappers are stuck to the elf as if they fell asleep mid-heist. Use leftover Halloween candy, a small sock, and tape to stick wrappers to the elf's hands and face.

What you'll need

  • Leftover Halloween candy
  • Small sock
  • Tape
  • Elf doll
  • Candy wrappers

How to set it up

  1. Place the elf doll on its stomach on a flat surface near where the children keep their Halloween candy stash.
  2. Fill a small sock with a handful of leftover Halloween candy, tie a knot at the top to secure it, and place it upside down next to the elf.
  3. Scatter candy wrappers around the elf and the sock, and use small pieces of tape to stick a few wrappers to the elf's hands and face for a 'sugar coma' effect.

Tips & variations

  • Use different colored candies to make the scene more visually appealing and exciting for preschoolers.
  • Let your children help scatter the wrappers and stick them to the elf for added participation and fun.
  • For a variation, hide a few extra candies around the room as a little 'treasure hunt' for the kids to find after discovering the elf.
