How to set it up

  1. Cover the box in red and build the curved front of the sleigh with another piece of cardboard - about 20 minutes; the child decorates it the next day.

  2. Candy canes as runners and cotton as the seat.

  3. Elf in the sleigh holding the string reins. Card: “Test-driving the backup sleigh. It passed. Mostly.”

Elf note

Test-driving the backup sleigh. It passed. Mostly.

Copy it onto a small card and leave it next to the scene.
