About this idea
The elf has transformed the kitchen counter into a tiny sushi bar! Using strips of black construction paper as nori, small rolls of white playdough or marshmallow as rice, and colorful sticker dots as toppings, the elf has crafted a full 'menu' written on a sticky note. A chopstick headband is taped to the elf's head and a sign reads 'Omakase tonight — chef's choice only!' Kids will love spotting all the tiny sushi rolls.
