Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Hiding in the cereal box

The elf has cut a window in the cereal box and is peeping out at the breakfast table. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need breakfast cereal and milk, scissors and a glue stick.

I'm in the cereal. It's crunchier than a bed should be. Pour carefully.
