Get the app on iPhone, then place the elf and go to bed.

If you want a ready scene, start here. Two minutes. No craft table.

Couch already ate the remotes. The elf found them first.

Entryway chaos, one tiny mechanic, bedtime saved.

Household object, silly landing, no craft table.

Your elf runs a maze through sock-drawer dividers. Two-minute puzzle path with the drawer barely cracked, not left open as a climb.

Your elf guards the popsicles from the freezer shelf, not buried in food. Two-minute frozen-treat stakeout when you open the door for the photo.

Your elf uses the mantel garland as a jungle gym. Two-minute climb that looks daring without hanging anything over a lit fireplace.

Your elf sculpts a masterpiece out of glue sticks and scrap paper. Two-minute craft-table art show with the glue caps on.

Your elf plants a gumdrop garden on a plate. Two-minute candy patch that looks like they took up farming between movies.

Your elf is marching across the printer-paper tray. A two-minute office parade with the printer off and the elf in front, not inside.
