Invisible Ink Secret Message

The elf left what looks like a blank page and a little purple flashlight. Shine the light on the paper and a secret message glows.

Instructions

With an invisible ink pen, write a short message from the elf on plain paper and add a star or heart.
Check it with the pen's light to make sure it shows.
Lay the paper flat or tape it to the wall.
Pose your elf next to it holding the light, pointed at the page.
Leave a tiny note: 'Use the light!'

Tip: Dim the room so the message glows brighter, and remind kids not to shine the light in anyone's eyes.
