How to Make Magic Elf on the Shelf Cereal Trick

Grab your levitating cereal trick supplies and take 20-30 minutes in front of your favorite television show while creating this really cool Elf on the Shelf trick.

Supplies

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • Fruit Loops (or cereal of choice like Kellogg’s Elf on the Shelf cereal)
  • Cereal Box
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Hot Glue Sticks
  • Clear Packing Tape
  • Cereal Bowl (Dollar Tree would be great)
  • Spoon (Dollar Tree would be great)

Tip: Don’t have pipe cleaners. No worry. Roll up and bend aluminum foil. Tin foil is very moldable and can easily be bent into many shapes and sizes.

Elf on the Shelf Cereal Trick Supplies

Now that we have the craft supplies, answers to how do you make that Elf on the Shelf cereal magic trick?

How to make the Elf Cereal Trick

elf on the shelf cereal

First, don’t be intimated by this Elf on the Shelf craft. It only takes 20 – 30 minutes to create cereal that can levitate. If you are looking for a simpler Elf idea, visit our Quick and Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

How to make elf on the shelf cereal trick directions

Open the box of cereal, remove the bag.

Pour cereal into a cereal bowl half way and set the rest aside. I personally found having the extra cereal on a sheet pan or cookie tray was great for helping me quickly grab a “fruit loop.”

Carefully glue the top half of 4 pipe cleaners together in a line and lightly spread out the bottom half like pictured.

How to make elf on the shelf cereal trick instructions

Carefully hot glue one piece of cereal at a time to the top half of the 4 pipe cleaners. Make sure to glue them in different directions, this will help cover the pipe cleaner, and look more natural like Elf is actually pouring the cereal.

Once the top of the 4 pipe cleaners are full of cereal, start gluing the cereal onto the bottom. The bottom will be the wider area, so fill it up well with cereal.

Place the empty bag back into the cereal box and glue a handful of cereal to the spout of the box to look as if it is pouring out of the box.

Now glue the top of the pipe cleaners right under the cereal bag, on the spout area. Glue a few more pieces on top to cover any pipe cleaner showing.

You can glue edges of the cereal bag so that it doesn’t slip out of the box. You want it to look natural inside the box.

Carefully stick the wider end of the pipe cleaners into the cereal. No need to glue this down, just full the bowl with more cereal.

Elf on the Shelf Magic Cereal Trick

Using clear packing tape the box at an angle to your coffee pot, microwave, or a spot on your cabinet where paint will not come off.

Place elf on the box, use a little clear tape if need be. You want to place this in a spot that your child cannot knock it over yet still enjoy this levitating cereal trick.

Place a few extra fruit loops on the counter top for a over flowing cereal bowl effect.

Optional: If you use a bowl and spoon from the Dollar Tree for this Elf on the Shelf idea, you can glue everything in place. Maybe you can even be an amazing friend and slyly pass on to another Elf on the Shelf mom!

Tip: Our pipe cleaners were about 7 inches long.  I have seen these cereal bowl magic tricks as tall ask five feet. Just continue to layer your work and purchase extra cereal!

Can this also be done with Chocolate or Marshmallows?

You bet! Feel free to replace your magical elf trick with other props including marshmallows or gold chocolate coins.

The amazingly talented Amy at Fabyuleus Elf Duo created created silly little leprechauns using a pot of gold! How fun is that idea?

Elf on the Shelf Chocolate Coins Trick

Use the same supplies to set up your Elf scene but add chocolate candies and a plastic cauldron.

In addition to tasty chocolate coins, consider using gummy bears or even Cinnamon Toast Crunch. These fun ideas come from Jessie E. and Jennifer M on Facebook.

Elf on a shelf cereal trick

Tip: Jennifer created the gummy bear spout and uses a wooden kitchen skewer. To get it to stay, she wedged the skewer between the spout and put the drain plug in the kitchen sink. Gummy bears covered the plug so it could not be seen.

I’m loving this turtleneck we found for fall! This loose fitting Women’s Plaid Turtleneck Sweater is a must-have for every woman’s closet.

With its cool plaid print and patchwork design, this sweater emphasizes your unconventional side. Ribbed contrasting cuffs on the turtleneck, sleeves and hem complement the design and add trendy accents. I love the loose fit this has both in the body and turtleneck. It won’t be tight in the neck like other turtlenecks are. Pair this with jeans or dressy pants for totally different looks.
