Don’t Stir Up Trouble

I might go stir crazy without you!

Your Scout Elf’s been caught red-handed in the kitchen again! It seems they’ve been missing the family so much, they decided to mix up a little fun while you were asleep.

This simple Elf on the Shelf® idea is full of giggles and easy for parents to recreate, perfect for adding a dash of North Pole magic to your morning routine.

Materials:

  • A spoon, straw or peppermint stick for stirring
  • A jar or glass
  • Optional: milk, hot chocolate, milkshake mix or food colouring

Instructions:

  1. Your Scout Elf climbed up onto the kitchen counter, poured a splash of milk (or maybe some hot chocolate!) into a glass and grabbed their favourite stirring spoon.
  2. Some elves like to get creative, mixing up a colourful milk concoction or a sweet peppermint milkshake before sitting proudly beside their “masterpiece.”
  3. To finish the setup, your Scout Elf may leave behind a cheeky little note that reads: “Don’t stir up trouble while I’m away!”
