Parachute Arrival

The elf is back! It floated in on a coffee filter parachute and is dangling from the curtain rod with a big hello note.

Instructions

Poke four small holes near the edge of a coffee filter.
Tie a 12-inch piece of string through each hole and gather the ends together.
Tie the gathered ends around the elf's middle so it hangs under the filter.
Hang the parachute from a curtain rod or a sturdy plant, low enough to see but not over a bed or chair.
Add a note in the elf's hand: "I'm back from the North Pole! The landing was bumpy."

Tip: Make an extra parachute with a small toy so the kids can test-drop it from the stairs.
