About this idea
Set up a mini adventure course using colorful balls as 'pool floats.' Place the elf on a small inflatable beach ball or balloon in a shallow dish of water. Surround with toy boats, rubber ducks, and a tiny paper umbrella. Add a sign: 'Pool Party Champion!' Create a path with more balls leading from the display.
What you'll need
- Small inflatable beach ball or balloon
- Shallow dish or small plastic basin
- Colorful pool balls
- Toy boats or rubber ducks
- Small paper umbrella
How to set it up
- Fill the shallow dish with a small amount of water and place the elf on the inflatable beach ball or balloon in the center.
- Arrange colorful pool balls around the dish to create a fun obstacle course path leading away from the display.
- Place toy boats, rubber ducks, and a tiny paper umbrella around the dish to complete the beach scene.
- Optional: Prop up a small sign that reads 'Pool Party Champion!' near the display.
- Let children navigate the course by moving the pool balls to help the elf reach new spots.
Tips & variations
- Use a small inflatable ring instead of a beach ball for a safer, more stable base if your child is younger.
- Create different difficulty levels by adjusting the number or spacing of pool balls for older or more adventurous kids.
- Freeze the water in the dish for a cool 'ice fishing' twist and use floating toys that work in cold water.
