We don’t do The Elf on the Shelf in our house (creeeeepy). But I did see these teeny-tiny elf-sized “donuts” last year and thought I’d replicate them:
They’re actually made from Cheerios (beer cap thrown in for scale). Although if memory serves, I did enjoy that adult beverage because HOLY GUACAMOLE does doing that kind of miniscule, delicate work drive me to drink.



Ouch, those are small. Do you use tweezers? — not for the making, to poke your eyes out.
Ha! Darn near. I can’t be trusted with tweezers, even after a single beer.
Now, THAT’s delicate.
And the two-year-old absolutely appreciated the effort. *snort*
What a hoot! Around our house those little delicacies would be gone in 60 seconds….
A dozen Cheerios. Gone in a handful!
so…what exactly is the ‘elf on the shelf’ ?
There’s more info if you click on the link, but the jist of it is that it’s a toy elf that is supposed to be “watching” your kid, and he reports back to “the North Pole” every night (parents are supposed to move him every night to keep up the illusion). It’s Big Brothery even without the super creepy doll.
Too cute – and delicate!
Ridiculously so!
Now that I think about it, Elf donuts are the cutest things ever.
They really are cute. I am so regretting posting this picture because I know I could do a way better job, and now that I have THAT thought in my head … ARGH.
