Elf slinky staircase

The elves discover a slinky stretched down the stairs, with a toy friend watching.

Elf slinky staircase

Make this idea your own

You will need: elf dolls, a slinky and an optional toy animal.

1. For a safer everyday setup, stretch the slinky between a low box and the floor.
2. Place an elf at each end as if testing the springy ride, with a toy friend looking on.
3. If recreating the photographed staircase scene, set it up only while the stairs are out of use and clear everything away before anyone walks on them.
