About this idea

The elf has dumped several cereal boxes creating a colorful mess on the kitchen floor and table. Position the elf in the middle of the chaos with a spoon, surrounded by scattered cereal pieces. Add a small sign that says 'Oops! Got a little hungry!' Optional: make cereal 'angels' or draw a cereal outline of the elf's body.

What you'll need

  • Cereal boxes
  • Spoon
  • Small sign that says 'Oops! Got a little hungry!'
  • Paper or marker for cereal angels or outline (optional)

How to set it up

  1. Dump the cereal from several boxes onto the kitchen floor and table to create a colorful mess.
  2. Place the elf doll in the middle of the scattered cereal pieces and position a spoon next to it.
  3. Set the small sign nearby that reads 'Oops! Got a little hungry!' and, if desired, draw cereal angels or an outline of the elf using cereal pieces.

Tips & variations

  • For a mess-free version, use cereal pieces that can be easily cleaned up or pretend cereal (paper cutouts).
  • Encourage kids to help clean up the 'crime scene' as part of the activity.
  • Variations include creating cereal 'snow angels' or tracing the elf's body shape with cereal for a fun art project.
