Elf messy-sink mischief

The elves have been caught beside a sink with a cheeky brown trail.

Elf messy-sink mischief

Make this idea your own

You will need: elf dolls and a small amount of washable chocolate sauce, or brown paper for a mess-free version.

1. Start with a clean, dry basin and protect the dolls from getting wet.
2. Make a small trail of chocolate sauce on the basin, keeping it away from the taps and drain. Alternatively, lay removable brown paper strips inside the sink.
3. Sit the elves on the rim as if caught in the act. Clean up promptly before the sink is used.
