You can have a small session where you can have the children make tiny tables and chairs along with props to accommodate elves. A miniature desk can be set up in the classroom so that this can be a base for the daily adventures of the elf. This can be in a prominent place so that students can easily see it. The desk can be on the teachers’ table or there can be a designated shelf for it. There can be tiny school supplies like books, pencils etc. on the table. The students can leave notes for the elf throughout the day. You can even have a tiny mailbox so that the students can drop notes into this.
