Kitchen tools make great oversized scenery for a small elf. Measuring cups and bowls stack into a mountain without much effort. 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 mini baking set if you want tiny mixing bowls already stacked instead of pulling the real cups.
  • Measuring cups
  • Mixing bowls
  • Ribbon or paper flag

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Stack the mountain

Nest bowls and measuring cups in a stable stack on the counter.

Step 2: Pose the climber

Set the elf beside or on the lower part of the stack like they are climbing.

Step 3: Add the summit flag

Tape a small paper flag to a toothpick or straw and place it at the top.

Safety & Pro Tips:

  • Keep the stack low and stable.
  • Avoid glass bowls if kids may touch the setup.
  • A summit flag makes the idea obvious.

Keep hunting
