You Will Need:

  • Your holiday elf
  • Optional: a tiny flyer sled if you want that scene already set. Household safety still applies.
  • Small cardboard sled or folded paper
  • Cotton balls or paper snowflakes
  • Tape or ribbon

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Make the sled

Use a folded piece of cardboard, cardstock, or a small toy sled as the base.

Step 2: Choose a safe stair

Place the elf on a lower stair where the setup is visible but not in the walking path.

Step 3: Add snow details

Scatter cotton balls or paper snowflakes around the sled for the indoor snow-day effect.

Safety & Pro Tips:

  • Do not block the stairs.
  • Use painter tape if you need to hold the sled in place.
  • Lower stairs are safest and easiest to see.
