Bookworm Buddy: Library Lover 📚
Published on November 28, 2025
Reading is magic, and your elf knows it! This cozy scene combines holiday fun with a love of books, encouraging kids to curl up with a good story. It's perfect for those quiet mornings when you want something sweet and inspiring.
You Will Need This:
- • Your holiday elf
- • A few children's books (holiday-themed books are perfect!)
- • A cozy spot (bookshelf, reading nook, or even a stack of books)
- • Optional: Mini reading glasses (made from pipe cleaners or paper)
- • Optional: A tiny bookmark or reading light
- • Optional: Small blanket or pillow
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Create the Reading Nook
Find a cozy spot in your home - this could be on a bookshelf, next to a stack of books, or even in a reading corner. Arrange a few books around the area to create a "library" feel.
Step 2: Set Up the Books
Open a book and position it so it looks like your elf is reading it. You can prop the book open or have it lying flat with your elf positioned as if they're looking at it. Holiday-themed books like "The Night Before Christmas" work perfectly!
Step 3: Position Your Elf
Place your elf in a reading pose - sitting next to the book, leaning against it, or even "holding" it if their arms are bendable. Make it look like they're completely absorbed in the story!
Step 4: Add Reading Accessories
Add some adorable details! You could make tiny reading glasses from pipe cleaners, add a small bookmark sticking out of the book, or even place a mini reading light nearby. A tiny blanket or pillow makes it extra cozy!
Step 5: The Reading Message
Add a small sign that says "Reading is magical!" or "What's your favorite book?" This encourages kids to read too and makes the scene interactive. You could even have your elf "recommend" a book by placing it nearby!
Pro Tips:
- • Use books that are age-appropriate for your kids
- • Change the book each day to keep it fresh
- • Position near a window for natural morning light in photos
- • This setup can inspire kids to read - have books ready for them to read too!
- • You can create a "reading challenge" where the elf reads a different book each day
- • Take photos that show the book title - it makes great memories!
Educational Bonus:
This setup is perfect for encouraging literacy! You can have your elf "read" different books throughout the season, and kids can read the same books. It's a fun way to combine holiday magic with learning!
