About this idea

The elf sits on the kitchen counter surrounded by broken gingerbread pieces and candy scattered everywhere, with frosting smeared on its face and hands.

What you'll need

  • Plastic gingerbread house
  • Edible candy pieces
  • Edible frosting or whipped cream
  • Small elf doll
  • Plate or tray

How to set it up

  1. Break apart the plastic gingerbread house into smaller pieces and place them on the plate or tray along with scattered candy pieces.
  2. Position the elf doll sitting on a kitchen counter or table next to the broken gingerbread pieces, making sure it’s secure.
  3. Smear a small amount of edible frosting or whipped cream on the elf’s face and hands for a playful touch.

Tips & variations

  • Use plastic or edible gingerbread pieces to avoid any mess or choking hazards for young children.
  • For added fun, let your preschoolers help ‘fix’ the gingerbread house the next morning using extra candy and frosting.
  • Keep the frosting or whipped cream minimal to avoid making a mess in the kitchen.
