Slipper sleeper service
The overnight slipper train has pulled in. Its first-class passenger has even brought a flannel duvet.
All aboard the overnight express! A pair of slippers lined up toe to heel becomes a cosy sleeper train, and the elf has settled into first class with a flannel for a duvet and a soft-toy companion for the journey.
It’s a calm, sweet set-up that’s ideal for later in December, when everyone is tired and excited in equal measure. In the morning, children become the station announcers, inventing every stop along the line from the North Pole to their own bedroom.
How to set it up
- Line up the slippers toe to heel beside the bed. Tuck the elf into the front carriage.
- Fold the flannel over its legs and settle a soft toy in the second slipper.
- Ask the morning station announcer to call the train’s next three stops.
