About this idea
The elf has gathered all of the toddler's favorite stuffed animals into a cozy circle on the floor, tucked each one under a folded washcloth 'blanket,' and left a small picture book open in the middle — as if the elf read them all a bedtime story overnight! Position the elf sitting cross-legged with the book in its lap. A tiny handwritten note reads: 'I kept your friends safe while you slept! 🌙'
What you'll need
- Stuffed animals
- Washcloths or small towels
- Picture book
- Tiny handwritten note (can be printed or written by hand)
- Elf doll
How to set it up
- Arrange your toddler's favorite stuffed animals in a cozy circle on the floor.
- Fold washcloths or small towels and place them over each stuffed animal like little blankets.
- Open a picture book and place it in the middle of the circle. Position the elf doll sitting cross-legged with the book resting on its lap.
- Write or print a tiny note that says: 'I kept your friends safe while you slept! 🌙' and place it nearby.
Tips & variations
- Use the toddler's softest or most favorite blankets if you have them, to make the scene even cozier.
- For added fun, you can dim the lights or use a nightlight to create a soft, bedtime atmosphere.
- This activity works well as a calming transition into bedtime routine, letting the child know their elf has been watching over their friends.
