Elves in the cereal

The elves hide inside clear cereal containers for a breakfast-time surprise.

Elves in the cereal

Make this idea your own

You will need: elf dolls and clean, empty clear cereal containers.

1. Empty and clean the containers before adding the dolls.
2. Use crumpled paper or a paper cereal picture at the bottom to suggest breakfast without putting dolls in food.
3. Sit an elf inside each container with the lid left off, then place them where the children will spot them. Remove the dolls before refilling the containers.
