About this idea
The elf has taken over the desk overnight to build a tiny vision board for the new year! Arrange cut-out magazine words and mini paper drawings pinned to a corkboard or taped to cardboard, spelling out encouraging goals like 'Level Up', 'Your Year', and 'You've Got This'. The elf sits beside it holding a tiny glue stick with a note: 'I made mine — now it's your turn. Dream big, I'll report to Santa.' Leave sticky notes and scissors nearby as an open invite.
What you'll need
- Corkboard or cardboard
- Magazines or printed images
- Scissors
- Sticky notes
- Tiny elf doll
- Glue stick (optional)
How to set it up
- Cut out inspiring words and images from magazines or printouts to create phrases like 'Level Up', 'Your Year', and 'You've Got This'.
- Arrange and pin or tape these cut-outs onto the corkboard or cardboard to form a tiny vision board.
- Place the elf doll beside the vision board, holding a tiny glue stick and a note that reads: 'I made mine — now it's your turn. Dream big, I'll report to Santa.'
- Leave sticky notes and scissors nearby to invite kids to add their own goals and dreams to the board.
- Position the setup on a desk or table where it will be discovered in the morning.
Tips & variations
- Use colorful markers or crayons to let kids decorate their own sticky notes with drawings and goals.
- For a reusable activity, use a magnetic whiteboard or a small magnetic board with magnetic clips instead of a corkboard.
- Encourage kids to share their vision board goals at dinner or bedtime for added family bonding.
