Artistic Adventures

Blue paper, white paint and a sheet of bubble wrap are set out like an art studio. The elf already printed a snowy night sky.

The elf turned the kids' drawings into an art gallery, with washi-tape frames on the wall and a mini easel holding the elf's own masterpiece.

The elf opened an ornament workshop: clear ornaments ready to fill, bowls of tissue paper and ribbon, markers, and a note saying the tree needs a few new decorations.

A long red and green paper chain hangs from the elf's spot, one loop for every night left until Christmas. Tear one off each morning.

The elf made it snow indoors: paper snowflakes hang everywhere, and it left extra folded paper so the kids can cut their own.

The elf opened a jewelry shop with bowls of tube pasta, yarn and markers. Today's special: make a necklace for someone you love.

A full-size Christmas tree appears on a door overnight, built from rows of green sticky notes, with a yellow star on top and the elf sitting on the door frame above it.

Overnight the elf turned a window into a winter scene: snowflakes, a snowman and a sky full of stars in bright marker, with one corner left blank for the kids to finish.
