Cup towers look impressive but take only a minute. This is a good last-minute idea when you need height, color, and an obvious elf activity. If you already have a posable holiday elf, skip to the recipe. If you don't,start with the setup kit.
You Will Need:
- Your holiday elf
- Optional: a posable holiday elf that will hold the pose next to the cup tower.
- Plastic cups
- Counter or table
- Small challenge note
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Stack the cups
Build a small pyramid or tower with plastic cups on a stable surface.
Step 2: Pose the builder
Place the elf beside the tower with one cup nearby as if they just finished building.
Step 3: Add the challenge
Leave a note inviting the kids to build their own cup tower later.
Safety & Pro Tips:
- Use lightweight plastic cups.
- Keep the tower away from table edges.
- Colorful cups make the photo stronger.
