23 Elf On the Shelf Ideas
Today my kids found our silly Elf on the Shelf sitting in the doll chair with a pair of binoculars looking at them… they all slept under the Christmas tree last night in the middle of the family room. He also had a paper and pen and was taking notes as to who was on the nice list.
Day 7 ~ Sitting in a doll chair looking at the kids with binoculars, and taking notes as to who was naughty and nice.
Day 5 ~ Found him inside a water bottle, and we found his magic trick of how he got inside.
Day 3 ~ Climbed inside a box of Rice Krispies to hang out with Snap, Crackle and Pop
DAY 2 ~ Our Elf was caught in the candy jar
Day 1- Just hanging out on the lights waiting for the kids to find him.
Do you have an Elf on the Shelf at your house? We started the tradition last year and my kids love it, here are 23 Elf On the Shelf Ideas.
Still time to grab your own Elf On The Shelf if you would like to start this tradition as well.
Love the ideas! Our elf ‘Snowflake’ has been a bit lazy this year. This morning she was found laying on the DVR trying to take a nap. She must be tired from flying back and forth.
Happy to help
thats really neat thanks for the info
Growing up our family had an Elf that came to visit our house. It was the highlight of my year by far. Christ was the center of Christmas for our family but my Mom and Dad also let Santa bring us one gift, and fill our stocking with treats. But having the family Elf come was almost more exciting than Santa. His name was Chubs and he would come pop his head in the window and peek to see if we were being good. Then quick as a flash he was gone again.
So last year I decided to start a tradition in our own home Elf On the Shelf. The story tells how Santa needs helpers to write his naughty or nice list and this new little elf will come stay at your house till Christmas. He will only move at night and each day you will find him some place new. He can not talk per Santa’s orders, but is always watching to make sure you are good.
I read the book Elf On the Shelf to my kids (and my Nephews) last night. They LOVED IT and were even more excited about the elf that is going to live at our house the next 25 days. They named him Chubs Jr after Grandmas elf… and they are full of excitement to see where he will be each day.
can someone explain this elf on the shelf thing to me please
