Elf toaster hideout

An elf pops up from an unplugged toaster for a cheeky kitchen surprise.

Elf toaster hideout

Make this idea your own

You will need: an elf doll and a completely cool, unplugged toaster, or a cardboard toaster prop.

1. Unplug the toaster and check that it is completely cold.
2. Perch the elf lightly across the top so it looks as if it is popping out; keep fabric out of the slots. A cardboard prop is a good alternative.
3. Leave the plug visibly disconnected and remove the doll before the toaster is used. This is a display only: never turn the toaster on with the elf in place.
