- Your holiday elf
- Optional: a mini vanity set if you want a tiny mirror already on the dry bathroom counter for the pep talk.
- Washable window or mirror marker
- Bathroom mirror
- Small towel
- Optional: tiny mirror if you want the elf giving themselves a pep talk too.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Write the message
Use washable marker to write a short note like "You are ready for today" on the mirror.
Step 2: Set the elf safely
Place the elf on the counter or a folded towel away from water.
Step 3: Add one small prop
Add a toothbrush, hairbrush, or mini paper star to connect the scene to the morning routine.
Safety & Pro Tips:
- Test the marker first.
