Frozen Elf

Disney’s Frozen is still a Disney favorite for many. Let your elf get in on the fun, set your elf up with the Elsa and Anna dolls, and have them be in the middle of building a snowman. If you’re really talented, try making the snowman out of real ice shavings and make it look as close to Olaf as possible.

Elf Elf

The movie Elf starring Will Ferrell having a meal. A spaghetti meal…elf style. Instead of meatballs, fix your elf a plate of spaghetti with marshmallows and candy. Use maple syrup as sauce and set it upright in front of your elf.

Dress up

Go Fish

Put some Goldfish in your bathroom sink (the crackers, not real ones). Then create a makeshift fishing pole out of whatever you can find around the house. Tie floss around the tail of a Goldfish cracker and the other end of the floss to the pole. Set your elf up as if he/she was fishing.

Angry Elf

This one requires you to have some Angry Birds plush. Set up a version of the game Angry Birds, with your elf being the slingshot holder and Legos as the bricks. Print out some pig images and use them in the Legos.
