About this idea
The elf has set up a cozy camping scene using couch cushions as a tent, with a pretend campfire made from tissue paper flames and a flashlight. The elf is roasting mini marshmallows on toothpicks with stuffed animals sitting around the campfire. Add a tiny starry sky backdrop (paper with holes poked through for stars) and a storybook about camping.
What you'll need
- Couch cushions
- Red tissue paper
- Flashlight
- Mini marshmallows
- Toothpicks
- Stuffed animals
How to set it up
- Arrange the couch cushions to form a tent-like structure in the living room.
- Cut red tissue paper into flame shapes and place them on the floor near the 'tent' to create a pretend campfire.
- Place the flashlight behind the tissue paper flames to create a glowing effect and set the stuffed animals around the campfire area.
- Poke small holes in a sheet of white paper to create stars and hang it on the wall behind the camping scene to simulate a night sky.
- Place the elf near the campfire with mini marshmallows on toothpicks, as if the elf is roasting them, and include a camping storybook nearby for reading together.
Tips & variations
- Use battery-operated candles instead of a flashlight for a safer, warmer glow.
- Let the children help make the tissue paper flames and poke the stars for a fun, interactive activity.
- Variations can include using a small blanket fort instead of couch cushions for a different camping setup.
