Math Activity From Our Elf

Cutesy the Elf really loves for Boogs to use his brain! Today, Cutesy left a secret coded message for Boogs. The note said, "You have to break the code to find a small gift from me. Good luck!"
 Cutesy found the 2nd grade Math Fact Code Sheet on education.com
Boogs quickly decoded the message. He did not even complain about having to do extra math work.
 The decoded message said, "Look under couch cushion for a fun painting book."
 I am pretty sure Cutesy found the Magic Paint Poster book in the dollar bin area at Michael's.
Boogs loves having Cutesy around, even when that elf makes him work. 

Last year, Cutesy had a couple of fun and sneaky learning activities for Boogs. You can read about them HERE.

Do you have an elf with a fun picture to share? If so, you can link your post to the Ultimate Elf On A Shelf Link Party HERE
