- Relaxing on a marshmallow chair. My most insane idea yet, as I stabbed my fingers multiple times with toothpicks. However, when I was done, Eugene did have a nice (yet small) chair and foot rest made of mini marshmallows.
- Super Hero E!. While he may just be pretending to fly on the curtain rod, he did have a cape.
- Playing hockey.
- Parachuting in.
- Ice skating.
- Making a garland for the tree.
- Zip Lining to the tree.
- Zombie Attack. Playing Plants VS Zombies.
- Making a S'more in the pantry.
- Making paper snowflake decorations
- Sledding on the tree
- Swinging from the ceiling fan
- Poker Night
- Popcorn Snowman Snack Cups
- Elf Packed Lunch
- Crepe Paper Barricade
- Treasure Hunt. Eugene likes to leave things for the boys when he goes home. One year it was a wrapped present, another year he left them a treasure hunt.
- Lightsaber fight with Storm Trooper and Darth Vader
- Minion bananas
- Elf Circus
- Hiding in a bottle. The link to my post has instructions! It's pretty easy and the boys were amazed. :)
- Making a snowman. I stacked larger sized marshmallows to form the snowman. I used an edible marker to make the face and buttons, although melted chocolate would work well too. You could "glue" the marshmallows together with chocolate or hold together with a toothpick down the center.
- Placing Bows on toys.
- "Doctor Who" Elf vs. a Dalek.
- Minecraft Steve Elf with Diamond Helmet and Sword.
- Some not as exciting ideas:
- Drinking hot chocolate (mini marshmallow filled cup from the kids kitchen set)
- Flying on the dinosaur that was hanging in Higgins' room.
- Using my Christmas Scavenger Hunt card.
- Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt.
- Eating gingerbread cookies.
- Wrapping a present. (This was left on his last day and was a game we got for the boys.)
- Leaving a note to clean their rooms.
- Sleeping in a curtain
- Elf sized donuts. Have the Elf eating these, but have another plate with note that these are to share. Originally, I made these for the leprechaun, but change the candy melts to a darker green, red, and white and they would work great for an Elf sized treat.
- Sick Note from the Elf.
- Writing a Story with the Elf.
Welcome! I am a mom to two wonderful kids, a lovely retired greyhound, and a wife to a great husband. Needless to say, there are a lot of daily messes to clean up around our house. Daily Messes is my blog to share ideas on things to do with your kids, snack and meal ideas, crafts, and holiday fun. I hope you find something to enjoy!
