About this idea
The elf has set up a teeny tiny spa on the bathroom counter! Using a bottle cap as a 'soaking tub', mini folded paper towel as a fluffy robe, and a toothpick holding a cotton ball 'towel', the elf relaxes with a handwritten sign: 'Getting squeaky clean for Christmas! Your turn — don't forget to brush!' A sweet nudge for kids to do their morning routine.
What you'll need
- Small elf doll
- Bottle cap
- Paper towels
- Toothpick
- Cotton ball
- Small handwritten sign or sticky note
How to set it up
- Place the bottle cap upside down on the bathroom counter to serve as the elf's tiny soaking tub. Position the elf doll inside the cap.
- Fold a small section of paper towel into a compact square and place it next to the elf as a mini robe.
- Balance a cotton ball on a toothpick and position it beside the elf as a tiny towel.
- Write a note that says 'Getting squeaky clean for Christmas! Your turn — don't forget to brush!' and place it nearby for the kids to see.
Tips & variations
- Use a small piece of tape to keep the toothpick upright if it keeps falling over.
- For added sparkle, sprinkle a few drops of bubble bath or essential oil near the elf’s 'spa' to create a relaxing scent.
- Encourage kids to replicate the elf’s spa by giving themselves a mini hand-wash or brushing their teeth right after discovering the scene.
