You Will Need:
- Your holiday elf
- Optional: a mini baking set if you want tiny bakeware already on the sheet for the shape crew.
- Cookie cutters
- Baking sheet
- Paper blueprint
- 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 Cookie cutters, Baking sheet, and Paper blueprint 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.
Safety & Pro Tips:
- Use props you already have so this stays fast and low-stress.
- Keep the setup out of walkways, water, heat, and anything fragile.
- Snap a photo in Elfie Spot Finder so you can track the spot and avoid repeating it later.
