What you need

  • a spoon
  • a thick marker
  • two rubber bands
  • mini marshmallows
  • a paper cup

How to set it up

  1. Rubber-band a spoon across a thick marker lying on its side, like a seesaw.
  2. Put a mini marshmallow in the spoon and set a paper cup as the target.
  3. Seat your elf beside it with the score note.

Safety

Aim at the cup, never at faces. Mini marshmallows are a choking risk under 4.

Note from your elf

Elf launch record: 3 in the cup. Can you beat me?
