🧝♀️ What They Did
Today, Elvis and Toffee are helping some very important friends make it safely across! The elves have set up a bear crossing — complete with gummy bears on parade and one elf holding a “Bear Crossing” sign like a proper lollipop man. They take their festive road safety duties seriously (well, as seriously as elves can 😅).
🎬 Behind the Scenes
his one was such a sweet little setup — literally! It’s super simple to pull together and looks adorable when finished. I lined up a row of gummy bears like they were taking a group stroll across the floor and gave one elf a little homemade “Bear Crossing” sign.
Real talk though… I absolutely had to lick the feet of the bears to make them stand up. Parenting glamour at its finest 😂.
Could I have done a cute little pedestrian crossing with stripes? Sure. Did tired-mum brain kick in and decide “nope, I’m going to bed” instead? Also yes.
If you do want to take it up a notch (and you’re not running on fumes), you could draw or tape down a mini pedestrian crossing using white paper strips to make it look like a real road!
💡 Recreate It at Home
All you need for this one is:
- A pack (or two!) of gummy bear sweets 🧸
- A small piece of card or paper to make your “Bear Crossing” sign
- Optional: white paper strips or masking tape to make your own crossing lines
Simple, sweet, and guaranteed to make the kids giggle at breakfast!
