About this idea
Your elf has built a mini reading nook using couch cushions or pillows! The elf sits inside with a tiny flashlight (or tea light) surrounded by the child's favorite board books opened up. Add a small blanket and stuffed animals gathered around like the elf is reading them a bedtime story. Leave a note: 'Story time is magical! Which book should we read tonight?'
What you'll need
- Couch cushions or pillows
- Tiny flashlight or tea light
- Child's favorite board books
- Small blanket
- Stuffed animals
How to set it up
- Arrange the couch cushions or pillows into a small, cozy fort-like structure in a comfortable corner of the room.
- Place the tiny flashlight or tea light inside the fort to create a warm, inviting glow.
- Open the child's favorite board books and prop them up around the fort, as if the elf is reading them, and place the small blanket and stuffed animals around the setup to complete the reading nook.
Tips & variations
- Use books that your child currently loves to make the scene more personal and engaging.
- If you don’t have a tiny flashlight, a small tea light candle can create a gentle glow—just be sure to place it safely away from fabrics.
