Se7en Make Elf Doors…

This is one of those crafts that my kids have wanted to make for years. While I have something elaborate in mind and… They are waiting for me to get on with it… And then they just do it themselves with some markers and cardboard. This is what they came up with, some little visitors at our grand entrance:

Let’s Meet the Players:

  • A piece of card or cereal box
  • Markers
  • Ice-lolly sticks
  • Teeny-tiny bits of felt
  • Teeny tiny pompoms
  • Teeny tiny piece of pipe-cleaner

Let’s Play the Game:

Step 1: Take a rectangular piece of card and draw a door on it.

Step 2: Then everyone had to eat an ice-lolly. That’s the price you have to pay for being a great crafter!!!

Step 3: Use your markers to drawer a little person on the lolly stick.
