About this idea

The elf has raided the kids' backpack and scattered their pencils, rulers, and erasers across the table — arranging them to spell out 'NO HOMEWORK TONITE!' in big, wobbly letters. Their notebook is flipped open with a tiny sticky note that reads: 'You're welcome. –The Elf.' Use pencils, a ruler, erasers, a notebook, and a sticky note to set the scene.

What you'll need

  • Pencils
  • Ruler
  • Erasers
  • Notebook
  • Sticky note

How to set it up

  1. Lay out the pencils, ruler, and erasers on the table in a way that spells out 'NO HOMEWORK TONITE!' using the items as letters and symbols.
  2. Open the notebook to a blank page and place it near the scattered school supplies.
  3. Write 'You're welcome. –The Elf.' on the sticky note and stick it onto the open notebook page.

Tips & variations

  • Use different colored pencils or erasers to make the message more playful and visually appealing for preschoolers.
  • If spelling out the message is challenging, use the ruler to create lines or symbols that suggest a fun, secret code instead of actual letters.
