About this idea

The elf creates a fake 'homework pass' certificate with official-looking stamps and signatures from 'North Pole Academy.' Leave it on the tween's desk with a note: 'I contacted Santa's education department - you're excused from ONE homework assignment this week. Choose wisely!' Add some red wax seal stickers or gold stars for authenticity. This gives tweens agency while being memorable.

What you'll need

  • Cardstock or paper
  • Marker or pen
  • Red wax seal stickers or gold stars
  • A small stamp or printed 'stamp' image
  • Note card or small piece of paper for the note

How to set it up

  1. Cut a piece of cardstock or paper into a certificate shape and write a 'Homework Pass' message with an official title, such as 'Official North Pole Academy Homework Pass.'
  2. Add a fake signature line and a stamped area; use a small stamp or printed image to create an official-looking 'North Pole Academy' stamp.
  3. Write the note: 'I contacted Santa's education department - you're excused from ONE homework assignment this week. Choose wisely!' and place it beside the certificate on the desk.
  4. Attach a red wax seal sticker or gold star to the certificate to give it an authentic, official touch.
  5. Position the elf nearby, perhaps peeking from behind a book or desk item, as if delivering the pass.

Tips & variations

  • Use glittery markers or stamps to make the certificate look more official and fun.
  • For younger children, you can adapt the pass to excuse a chore or a bedtime routine instead of homework.
  • Hide the elf in a creative spot nearby, such as inside a pencil jar or tucked under some books, to add an extra element of surprise.
