About this idea

The elf has knocked over the toddler's block tower and is sitting smugly on top of the rubble with tiny arms raised in victory. Scatter a handful of colorful building blocks around the elf in a blast radius, as if caught mid-chaos. Prop the elf on the biggest block with a small paper flag made from a toothpick that reads 'I WIN!' Simple, colorful, and irresistible to little ones.

What you'll need

  • Colorful building blocks
  • Elf doll
  • Toothpick
  • Small piece of paper
  • Marker (optional)

How to set it up

  1. Scatter a handful of colorful building blocks around the play area to create a 'blast radius.'
  2. Place the elf doll on top of the largest block in the pile of scattered blocks.
  3. Fold a small piece of paper into a flag shape and write 'I WIN!' on it (or have a child do it).
  4. Insert the toothpick through the paper flag and prop it up on the elf's head to look like a victory pose.

Tips & variations

  • Use large, easy-to-grip blocks for preschoolers to encourage them to rebuild the tower themselves.
  • For added fun, let the children try to rebuild the block tower and then knock it down again with the elf's help.
  • Change the flag message to 'Try Again!' or 'Challenge Me!' to encourage persistence and resilience.
