How to turn your elf into a snow angel for Christmas mischief

1. Prep the "Snow"

Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda or flour on your counter or table. Make sure the space is big enough for your elf to lie down comfortably.

Place your Elf on the Shelf doll right in the middle of the flour/baking soda.


Adjust their position so they’re lying flat, as if ready to make a snow angel.
