Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Baking day

The elf has set out bowl, spoon and flour with a note that today is biscuit baking day. It takes about 10 minutes and a little effort; you need plain flour, icing sugar, oats or rice, mugs, cups, bowls, a baking tray, wooden spoon and straws, cake sprinkles or hundreds and thousands, paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.
