About this idea
Your elf got into the cereal and made a 'snow angel' in the spilled cereal! Lay the elf on its back in a pile of cereal (Cheerios or Rice Krispies work great) with arms and legs spread wide. Scatter cereal around to show the 'angel wings' pattern. Leave a tiny note: 'I thought this was snow! Oops!' Preschoolers will giggle at the silly mess.
What you'll need
- Preschooler-safe elf doll
- Cheerios or Rice Krispies cereal
- A small piece of paper or card for a note
- A flat surface like a kitchen table or countertop
- A spoon or hand for spreading cereal
How to set it up
- Spread a layer of Cheerios or Rice Krispies on the flat surface to create a 'snow' base.
- Place the elf doll on its back in the center of the cereal pile.
- Arrange the elf's arms and legs to form an angel shape, mimicking snow angel wings.
- Scatter additional cereal around the elf to emphasize the 'snow angel' pattern and create a playful mess.
- Leave a tiny note nearby that reads: 'I thought this was snow! Oops!'
Tips & variations
- Use a small amount of cereal to avoid making too big of a mess for young children to clean up.
- For added fun, let preschoolers help arrange the cereal and elf to make the angel shape.
- Variations: Try using different types of cereal like fruit loops for a colorful 'snow' or add a small bowl of milk nearby to complete the scene.
