Looking for fun and funny elf on the shelf ideas? Here’s how to set up an easy elf on the shelf cotton ball bath in your bathroom!
Setting up the Elf on the Shelf can be a LOT of work. Let’s keep it easy by using things you already have on hand that won’t take half an hour to put together!
Today I want to share an Elf set up that was a huge hit with my kids – the cotton ball bubble bath!
Elf on the Shelf Cotton Ball Bath
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 2 minutes
What you need:
- Elf on the Shelf
- Cotton balls
- Clear or white bowl – slightly larger than the elf
What you do:
- Pick a spot to place your elf. I like to do this setup in the bathroom, but anywhere works!
- Place your bowl on a shelf or flat surface.
- Add your elf so they are sitting/slightly lounging in the bowl.
- Cover with cotton balls. Make sure to put some under their legs. The more you add, the better held in place they will be.
- Optional: add a small rubber ducky or bath toy.
- Enjoy!
Save your extra cotton balls and use them to set up an Elf Snowball Fight or to do this free printable Santa’s beard activity!
