We have naughty leprechauns that come on St. Patrick’s Day
Yes those are more on what I was thinking . I just think the elf on the shelf is fun but can encourage the naughty side so why not twist it into something positive
Like helping decorate, or clean up the toys, or make hot chocolate for the kids in the morning… yeah we have those ideas too 😉
I’d rather do the good deeds elf not the elf on the shelf that sets a bad example and plants mischief in my kids minds
