About this idea
The elf set up a card-making station but colored all the Christmas cards upside-down and backwards! There are crayons scattered everywhere, and the elf left a note saying 'Oops! I forgot how to read at the North Pole!' Kids will laugh seeing Santa drawn upside-down with his beard going up instead of down, or reindeer walking on the ceiling.
What you'll need
- Pre-cut Christmas card templates
- Crayons or markers
- Sticky notes or small paper for the elf's note
- A small table or tray
- Optional: printed upside-down Christmas illustrations
How to set it up
- Arrange the Christmas card templates upside down and backwards on the table or tray.
- Scatter crayons or markers around the cards to mimic the elf's messy workspace.
- Place a sticky note or small piece of paper nearby with the message: 'Oops! I forgot how to read at the North Pole!' written on it.
Tips & variations
- For added fun, include a few printed upside-down illustrations of Santa or reindeer so kids can see what the elf 'drew'.
- Encourage kids to try drawing or coloring their own cards upside down for a giggle-filled activity.
- Rotate the completed cards right-side up at the end so the family can enjoy the backwards artwork!
