About this idea
The elf has raided the utensil drawer and stacked every spoon into a wobbling tower on the kitchen counter — wooden spoons, measuring spoons, and mixing spoons all piled up. The elf is perched on top like a tiny king with a sticky note crown drawn in marker. A handful of craft pom-poms is scattered around as 'fallen gold coins' from the royal treasury.
What you'll need
- Assorted spoons (wooden, measuring, mixing)
- Sticky notes and a marker
- Craft pom-poms
- Elf doll or toy
How to set it up
- Gather various spoons from the kitchen drawer and arrange them in a tall, unstable tower on a stable surface like the kitchen counter.
- Place the elf doll on top of the spoon tower and draw a simple crown on a sticky note with a marker, then attach it to the elf's head.
- Scatter a handful of colorful craft pom-poms around the base of the spoon tower to represent 'fallen gold coins' from the treasury.
Tips & variations
- For added challenge, let children try to topple the spoon tower gently using only their fingers or a soft brush.
- Variations can include using different kitchen utensils like forks or spatulas, or adding a small piece of cardboard as a 'royal seal' to place at the base of the tower.
- Supervise younger preschoolers closely to ensure safety around tall, unstable structures.
