About this idea
The elf sits inside the washing machine surrounded by colorful board books, pretending to give them a bubble bath with toy soap bubbles scattered around.
What you'll need
- Washing machine
- Colorful board books
- Toy soap bubbles
- Small elf doll
- Towel or cloth
How to set it up
- Place several colorful board books around the bottom and inside of the washing machine drum, ensuring they are secure and won't fall out when the door is closed.
- Position the small elf doll inside the washing machine, sitting among the books as if preparing to give them a bath.
- Sprinkle toy soap bubbles around the washing machine area to create the illusion of a bubbly bath for the books.
- Close the washing machine door gently, making sure the elf and books are safely inside, and place a small towel or cloth nearby to complete the scene.
Tips & variations
- For added fun, let your preschoolers 'help' the elf by blowing on the toy bubbles or pretending to wash the books with their hands.
- If you don't have a washing machine that's accessible, recreate the scene on a shelf or table using a small container or basket as a pretend 'washing machine.'
- Switch out the board books for the children's favorite storybooks to personalize the activity and encourage them to talk about their favorite stories.
