Elf Astronaut Ideas
Can you believe it? How does our elf know that we have a completely space and NASA obsessed boy in this house? Oboe somehow knew, however, and this week he delivered BIG TIME.
Today we add 2 super fun, space themed elf scenes to our collection of elf ideas!
Space Walk Elf
Materials needed:
- Elf
- Space Shuttle
- Fishing twine
- String/piece of plastic tubing
- Helmet and/or aluminum foil (our helmet – aluminum foil takeout container + LEGO cockpit roof)
Elf and space shuttle are suspended from ceiling with fishing twine. Tie the elf and the shuttle together with another piece of twine if they need a little help being stabilized. Connect elf and shuttle with string/tubing. Affix the tubing to the objects with tape if necessary.
Place helmet on elf. Additionally, you can cover his body with aluminum foil to mimic a space suit. (See example of this in our Elf on the Moon pictures.)
Man on the Moon Elf
For this scene, your elf can channel his or her inner Neil Armstrong and take that important first walk on the moon!
