- Optional: a posable holiday elf that will hold the pose on the broom balance beam.
- Broom
- Kitchen floor
- Paper scorecard
- Small paper note or label
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Set the kitchen scene
Choose a stable, easy-to-see spot in the kitchen and arrange Broom, Kitchen floor, and Paper scorecard so the scene reads clearly from across the room.
Step 2: Pose the elf
Place the elf as the star of the setup, keeping the figure dry, secure, and separate from any food or fragile items.
Step 3: Add the tiny story
Finish with a short note or one extra prop that explains what the elf is doing without needing a complicated setup.
