About this idea
The elf sits on the coffee table surrounded by action figures and dolls, holding tiny scissors made from paper clips. Cotton balls are scattered everywhere like hair clippings, and several action figures lie face-up with cotton ball "beards" and "wigs" glued or placed on them. A small mirror (like a compact or phone) leans against a book, and a toy comb sits nearby. One action figure has an absurdly tall cotton ball mohawk while another has a ridiculous cotton ball mustache.
What you'll need
- Action figures or dolls
- Paper clips
- Cotton balls
- Small mirror (like a compact or phone)
- Toy comb
How to set it up
- Transform paper clips into tiny scissors by bending them slightly and place them next to the elf on the coffee table.
- Scatter cotton balls around the elf like hair clippings, and place several action figures or dolls face-up nearby.
- Attach cotton balls to the action figures or dolls using safe, child-friendly glue or simply place them on as beards, wigs, or funny hairstyles like a mohawk or mustache.
- Prop up a small mirror (such as a compact or phone) against a book near the elf, and place a toy comb close by to complete the barbershop scene.
- Position your elf sitting on the coffee table, looking amused or surprised by the 'disaster' around them.
Tips & variations
- Use non-toxic glue and supervise closely if young children will be handling it.
- For added fun, let your preschoolers help create the cotton ball hairstyles on the action figures.
- Swap out action figures for stuffed animals or even small toys your child loves to personalize the scene.
