Today I want to share an Elf set up that was a huge hit with my kids – the snowball fight!

Elf on the Shelf Snowball Fight
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 5 minutes

What you need:
- Elf on the Shelf
- Cotton balls
- Clear tape
- Other toys/figures about elf-sized

What you do:
- Pick a few characters to snowball fight with your elf. We chose Woody and Jessie. Anyone rather elf-sized works great, especially if they have posable arms.
- Use clear tape to attach cotton ball to each of their hands
- Strew other cotton balls around to set the scene. We “buried” Jessie to show her really being in the fight!
- Sit back and enjoy the laughs!
