About this idea
The elf sits triumphantly at the very top of a towering LEGO structure that stretches from the playroom floor all the way to the ceiling. The colorful tower wobbles slightly with mismatched blocks creating a rainbow spiral pattern, and a small LEGO flag or paper banner attached to a toothpick flies from the summit where the elf perches. Scattered LEGO pieces litter the floor around the base, and a tiny rope made from dental floss or string dangles down the side as if the elf climbed up mountain-climber style. A handwritten sign at the base reads 'Summit Reached!' or 'World Record Attempt!'
What you'll need
- LEGO or building blocks set
- Small elf doll or toy
- Paper or small LEGO flag
- Toothpick or small stick
- String or dental floss
- Handwritten sign paper and markers
How to set it up
- Build a tall, colorful tower of building blocks reaching as high as possible, arranging them in a spiral pattern for stability.
- Place the elf doll at the very top of the tower and attach a small flag or paper banner to a toothpick, inserting it into the top block so it stands upright.
- Tie a short piece of string or dental floss to the side of the tower partway down to mimic a climbing rope.
- Write a funny sign saying 'Summit Reached!' or 'World Record Attempt!' and place it proudly at the base of the tower.
- Scatter a few extra blocks around the floor near the base to complete the scene.
Tips & variations
- Use larger, sturdier blocks at the bottom of the tower for added stability to prevent it from falling over.
- If building blocks reach the ceiling, consider using a lower spot or a smaller tower to ensure safety and space.
- Encourage kids to help build or decorate the tower for extra fun and participation.
