- Glue stick

- Toothpicks or straws for the signs
🏡 Setup Idea at the Elf Door
Fill a flowerpot with soil or sand and push the bed signs in. Place the flowers and watering cans between them and hang the sign on the door.
🎲 Play Idea With the Set
In the morning the kids plant new signs in the elf garden and think about what should grow there. At night the elf waters by the rules: with love, and only a little. Whoever harvests shares with the elf.
💡 Tips
- Tape the signs to toothpicks or straws so they stand firmly in the pot.
- Print at 100% and switch off “fit to page” so the pieces stay elf-sized.
- Cut roughly first, then trim along the lines. That keeps tiny pieces neat.
