Secret Santa story part 1 - Tomte moves in

In the Danish Christmas tradition, the secret of the Secret Santa door is an important part. A mysterious creature, like a little elf, simply moves in one day and lives behind an elf door until Christmas. Sometimes, and much to the delight of children, it leaves a message on the day it moves in. From that day on, mysterious things keep happening for which the little elf is held responsible. The aim of the Secret Santa Doors is to bring a little more magic into the home and everyday life and to sweeten the wait until Christmas for children.

In our Secret Santa door story, little Tomte moves in. You can make beautiful decorations for your home and make your house even more magical! We have prepared a 4-part craft story for you to make yourself and your children very happy. Small hands-on activities are also included in our story series.

With our cute miniature materials, you can create a scene with the motto "the elf is moving in". Choose a place in the house where the Secret Santa door will look its best. Stick the Secret Santa door above the door moulding or directly above the floor. You can use 3D adhesive pads for this. These stick well and can still be removed easily. You can also make "rolls" of masking tape and stick them to the door and letterbox.

Arrange the miniatures in front of the door. The matchboxes can be used to make moving boxes and the letterbox. Use markers to draw a post horn and moving symbols on the matchboxes and you've got some great accessories.

The special thing about our Secret Santa door scenes is that they always include a letter from the Secret Santa Tomte to the family/children. In some cases there is also a join-in idea. Let yourself be surprised.

Tomte's next event is a delicious gift and a nice baking activity. Have a look right here: Idea 2310
