Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Breaking out of the cereal box

The elf is halfway out of the cereal box, spoon in hand, cereal spilled on the table. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need breakfast cereal and milk, scissors and a glue stick, mugs, cups, bowls, a baking tray, wooden spoon and straws.

I got in the cereal. I couldn't get out. I ate my way through. Nobody panic.
