Drive-In for Toy Cars

The elf built a drive-in theater: a cardboard screen, toy cars parked in rows, and the elf sitting in the front car waiting for the show.

Instructions

Cut the front panel off a cardboard box, tape white paper over it, and prop it up as the screen.
Draw a big star or a simple picture on the screen.
Park toy cars in two rows facing the screen.
Seat your elf in or on top of the front car.
Set a popcorn box beside the cars as the snack stand.

Tip: For a bonus show, prop a tablet behind the screen in the evening and play a short holiday clip for the cars (and the kids).
