Marshmallow Bubble Bath
Your elf takes a cosy soak in a mug of mini marshmallows. Two minutes to set up and a very silly sight at breakfast.
After the long journey from the North Pole, every elf deserves a little pampering. This is one of the quickest and silliest ideas of the season: a wide mug, a flannel and a scattering of mini marshmallows become a luxurious bubble bath, with the elf looking thoroughly pleased with itself.
It takes about two minutes, which makes it perfect for the evenings when you’ve remembered the elf at the very last moment. Expect giggles at breakfast and plenty of questions about who booked the bathroom.
How to set it up
- Stand the dry mug on the folded flannel. Tuck the elf in feet first, with its arms over the rim. If it slips too far down, pop a scrap of folded kitchen roll underneath.
- Scatter marshmallows loosely around its shoulders until just its head and arms peek out. Set the mug beside the breakfast things, ready for someone to discover who has booked the bathroom.
