About this idea
The elf has gone full office prankster overnight — every single item on the kids' desk (pencil holder, stapler, books, lamp, even the chair) is wrapped or covered in colorful sticky notes with tiny labels like 'Property of the Elf', 'Do Not Touch', and 'Under Investigation'. A note on the computer reads 'I needed a workspace. No hard feelings.' All you need is one pack of sticky notes and a marker.
What you'll need
- Sticky notes (multiple colors)
- Marker
- Desk or workspace
- Optional: small elf doll or elf figure
- Optional: printed or handwritten labels
How to set it up
- Cover all items on the child's desk or workspace with sticky notes, leaving no surface uncovered.
- Write tiny, funny labels like 'Property of the Elf', 'Do Not Touch', and 'Under Investigation' on the sticky notes using the marker.
- Place a final note on the computer or a central spot that reads, 'I needed a workspace. No hard feelings.' and position the elf doll or figure nearby looking proud of its 'office takeover.'
Tips & variations
- Use different color sticky notes for added visual appeal and make the labels more eye-catching.
- For younger children, you can involve them in writing simple labels like 'Elf's Desk' or 'Elf's Chair' to make it interactive.
- For a variation, use different shapes or sizes of sticky notes, or create a 'Top Secret' stamp using a marker and repeat it across the notes.
