The Slide
Find anything in the house you can make a slide with, and possibly something for the elf to ride down on. I used a simple ironing board and a tiny float I found in the garage. I propped the ironing board on our piano bench, positioned the elf, and voila! It took me about five minutes. From my children’s reaction, you would have thought it took me hours.
If you don’t have an ironing board, you can use a piece of wood, a big piece of cardboard, a baby bed mattress, the leaf from the dining room table that you never use, or anything to create the illusion of a slide.
If you don’t have a float, a laundry basket could work, or the elf can just slide on its own. Sometimes, I put the elf on the float and place other stuffed animals in different poses at different points on the slide so it looks like they’re all having fun together.
All of these ideas will work for just one elf, but will be a lot more fun with additional friends. So, go out and buy more elves! Or you can always use teddy bears, dolls, and other stuffed animals as extras.
Supplies:
Ironing board (or something similar) to make slide
Bench or chair to prop
