“Santa’s Workshop is behind on orders. Your child is hired.”

It starts with a shopping experience. Dressed in our elf apron and hat, your child shops the elf stands with an Elf Work Order and picks what to make.

“Santa’s town isn’t ready. The littlest elves can help.”

Tired of Buying DIY Kits That Become Parent Homework?

We get it. December is already crazy without adding complicated craft projects to your to-do list.

Same Old Santa Photo?

You know the drill—wait in line forever, pay $45 for photos, kid cries or looks bored. Five minutes and done. Is this really the Christmas magic we’re going for?

Another Hour of Screen Time

You want them building and creating, not just watching. But honestly? You don’t have the patience to teach them complicated projects after a long day.

“I Can’t Do It” Breaks Your Heart

When they give up on projects, it chips away at their confidence. You want them to feel that amazing “I did it!” feeling, but most toys are too hard without help.

Those “DIY” Kits End Up Being “You Do It”

You buy that craft kit thinking it’ll be fun family time. Twenty minutes later your kid’s on the iPad while you’re trying to figure out step 47 of the instructions.

Meet Your Holiday Heroes: Santa’s Expert Elves

Who better than Santa’s expert elves to guide your kids through magical crafting?

Our expert elves make sure every single child succeeds—and has fun doing it. No tears, no parent takeovers, just proud kids with toys they actually built.
