Elf idea: A tiny door appears

A little cardboard door has appeared on the skirting board with the elf beside it. It takes about 15 minutes and a little effort; you need paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen, scissors and a glue stick, sticky tape, masking tape or plasters.

A morning line from your elf

I've installed a door. It leads to the North Pole. No you can't try it. Yes it is magic. No more questions.
