It’s Christmas in July! Ideas to Spark the Christmas Spirit All Year Long with Elf on the Shelf
Did you know July 28th marks the 150-day countdown till Christmas 2022! Let’s get into the Christmas spirit and celebrate this fun milestone with the Elf on the Shelf’s famous Scout Elves – who celebrate Christmas all year long!
The holiday magic doesn’t have to happen only in December – spark the sprit of Christmas all year long with the below activity.
Have a Happy Hula-days while chilling with your surfer Scout Elf!
Materials Needed:
- Color printer
- Card stock/copy paper
- Printable
- Scissors
- Three styrofoam balls in graduated sizes
- Toothpicks
- Play sand
- Liquid glue
- Decorations: twigs, pebbles, small top hat, one baby carrot
Instructions:
- Your elf will print and prepare the printable surf boards and message.
- Next, they will build a sandy snowman! To start, your elf will level the bottom of the largest styrofoam ball so it sits flat on the work surface.
- Then they will coat each of the three styrofoam balls with glue and then sand. They’ll use toothpicks between the coated styrofoam balls to balance one on top of the next. Lastly, they will place twigs as arms, pebbles as eyes and mouth, a baby carrot for a nose, and place a small top hat on its head.
- Finally, the Scout Elf will chill out with their sand-man before getting ready to hit the waves!
