Candy Cane Garden

Night one, the elf plants peppermint candies in a little pot of sugar snow. Night two, candy canes have sprouted right where the peppermints were.

Instructions

Night one: fill a small flower pot with sugar or rice for snowy soil.
Press three peppermint candies into the top and stand your elf beside the pot with a cup or tiny watering can.
Leave a note: 'I planted something special. Check tomorrow!'
Night two: take out the peppermints and push mini candy canes into the same spots, hooks up, at different heights.
Scatter a couple of peppermints around the pot like fallen seeds.

Tip: Keep every candy in its wrapper so it stays clean and can be eaten later.
