About this idea
The elf has been very busy while dad was napping! Set a small stuffed animal or doll nearby as a "client," then place a few cotton balls, an empty nail polish bottle, and a tiny makeshift brush next to dad's hand. Add a piece of tape with cotton balls on one finger to mimic a fresh manicure. A small mirror leans against dad's arm as a finishing touch. Kids will giggle seeing the elf mid-prank!
What you'll need
- Small stuffed animal or doll
- Cotton balls
- Empty nail polish bottle
- Small makeshift brush (like a toothpick or small twig)
- Piece of tape
How to set it up
- Place the small stuffed animal or doll next to your dad's hand to act as the 'client' for the spa.
- Scatter a few cotton balls around the area to look like a relaxing spa treatment.
- Position the empty nail polish bottle and the tiny makeshift brush next to dad's hand as if the elf was giving a manicure.
- Use a piece of tape to attach cotton balls to one of dad's fingers to mimic a fresh manicure.
- Lean a small mirror against dad's arm to complete the spa scene as a finishing touch.
Tips & variations
- Use a small handheld mirror if you don’t have a small mirror, or prop up a larger one at an angle.
- For an extra touch, draw a tiny smiley face on the dad’s finger with a marker before adding the cotton balls.
- If your child wants to join in, let them help place the cotton balls or hold the mirror for added fun and participation.
