    Static Snowflakes

    Tiny tissue paper snowflakes are scattered on the table, and the elf is holding a balloon that pulls them up like magic.

    Instructions

    1. Tear or cut white tissue paper into tiny pieces, about the size of a fingernail.
    2. Scatter them on the table like snow.
    3. Blow up a balloon and tie it.
    4. Rub the balloon on your hair or a wool sweater, then hold it just above the paper to test that the bits jump up.
    5. Tape the balloon string to the elf's hand and add a note: "Rub the balloon on your hair and make it snow upward!"

    Tip: Keep popped balloon pieces away from little ones.
