About this idea

Your elf tried to lift 'weights' made from stacked cookies, candy canes, or small toys tied to spoons with ribbon. The weights are 'too heavy' so the elf is pinned underneath them dramatically with a sign saying 'Send help! Skipped leg day!' Bonus: scatter toy cars or small stuffed animals around as the elf's 'gym buddies' cheering them on.

What you'll need

  • Cookies or candy canes
  • Small toys or spoons
  • Ribbon
  • Small sign or card
  • Toy cars or small stuffed animals

How to set it up

  1. Tie small toys or spoons to cookies or candy canes using ribbon to create 'weights'
  2. Stack or arrange the 'weights' in a small pile on a flat surface
  3. Place the elf underneath the pile with a dramatic pose and attach a sign that says 'Send help! Skipped leg day!'
  4. Scatter toy cars or small stuffed animals around the elf as 'gym buddies'

Tips & variations

  • Use sturdy cookies like chocolate chip to prevent the weights from falling apart
  • For added effect, you can crumple some paper or cardboard under the elf to make them look more pinned down
  • Change the sign message to match different 'gym fails' like 'Need a spot!' or 'Too strong!'
