    Footprint Trail Goodbye

    On Christmas Eve the elf leaves a goodbye note and a trail of little green footprints heading out the door, back to the North Pole.

    Instructions

    1. Cut 6 to 10 small footprints, about two inches long, out of green construction paper.
    2. Lay them in a trail from the elf's last spot to the front door, alternating left and right.
    3. Put a goodbye note in an envelope at the start of the trail.
    4. Pose your elf at the door waving, or leave it out of sight so the trail is all that's left.

    Tip: In the note, mention one favorite moment from this December so it feels personal.
