Our boys flipped their lids the first time we did this scene. They thought their Elf had gone mad, but they also thought it was the funniest adventure that year (it was when they were very young).

The idea is that your Elf brought a snowman from the North Pole but they’ve melted in the Australian heat.

You’ll need to make a puddle and place the carrot, googly-eyes, and buttons in the water. You can make a puddle on the floor or in an oven tray if you don’t want to make a mess.

For an extra cheeky scene, you could position your Elf near the puddle and have them holding a hair-dryer. For safety reasons please do not plug it in!
