Tootles

This goodbye toot is a hoot!


Materials:

  • Cotton balls
  • 9-gauge aluminium wire (approx. 48 inches)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Fishing line

Instructions:

  1. Your Scout Elf will begin by bending the aluminium wire into the word Tootles, creating a playful farewell message ready to display.
  2. Next, they will carefully glue soft cotton balls along the wire, turning the letters into a fluffy, cloud-like word sculpture that feels perfectly at home in the North Pole tradition.
  3. Using fishing line, your Scout Elf will suspend both themselves and the word Tootles from the ceiling so the message appears to float magically in the air.
  4. Then they will wait patiently to be discovered, hoping their silly goodbye gives the whole family a good laugh before they head back to the North Pole.
