Toilet Paper Snowman
Your elf builds a snowman from stacked toilet rolls, with a scarf and a paper carrot nose. Five minutes, no mess and endlessly popular with toddlers.
5 minNo mess
Every house has toilet paper, which makes it the elf's favourite building material. A few rolls become a snowman, a castle or a bowling alley; a single roll becomes garland for the tree or a rope for a daring descent down the banister.
Most of these ideas use whole rolls that go straight back to the bathroom afterwards, so nothing is wasted.
