Scene Set up Ideas...
We had great fun writing “The Bossy Elf’s Terrible Tasks”. These tasks will make the elf’s visit a whole lot easier and the run-up to Christmas a fun and memorable one!
This arrival scene explains why The Bossy Elf is so bossy! It is also a fun introduction to the tasks “The Bossy Elf” has schemed up! You may want to sculpt an animal from The Bossy Elf for the little ones to discover (like in our scene) too!
Our “treat of choice” is a small pile of chocolate coins (we are big fans of chocolate in our home so you will see various chocolate-related treats in our scenes throughout).
You may want to keep the children wondering where The Bossy Elf will be each morning and place your elf scene in different places for the little ones to find.
TIP: If you don’t have any white-tac or blu-tac then try this with playdough instead. Here’s a simple optional recipe for you:
“One Cup Playdough“
- Take 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of salt and 2 teaspoons of Cream of tartar in a mixing bowl.
- Then add 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of oil and an optional splash of food colouring.
- Mix it all together until it’s smooth, and put it in a microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and stir!
Optional Extra Certificates – We have made a certificate (links below), which you could use as an award in some of the tasks, should you wish.
If this arrival option isn’t for you, take a look at Option 2, which uses everyday household items.
