Wrap the Elf in tin foil, including making him a little hat, then hang him from a ceiling light using string. Add some cut out stars (use foil for these too) to make it look like he’s in space. 55. Elf is raiding the piggy bank As well as being a really funny idea, it'll give you time to ease into things, not having to come up with something new for the Elf to do every night of the first week! The kids can use this time to talk to the Elf, from a safe distance, and get to know him. Elf is on mummy or daddy’s computer or iPad surfing the internet for toys. 30. Flying with a parachute
This activity sees parents, grandparents, family members and guardians wake up extra early every morning (or at night after the kids have gone to bed) to place the Elf in a different area or room of the house, usually up to some sort of mischief. It's a firm favourite in many households as the nearly month-long event sees kids race around the house looking for their Scout Elf each morning.Do you have a sewing machine? Get elf making something on the machine with Christmassy fabric, and drape a tape measure over their shoulders too! You could do something similar with a knitting set. 23. Elf has a wash Get a cheap plastic mini toy parachute and attach it to the elf, then make it look like the parachute is tangled in the tree or on one of your ceiling lights. 31. Taking Santa hostage Elf has used a polaroid camera to take selfies, or “elfies”! Have a couple of photos of the Elf next to him along with the camera. 43. Elf takes a nap Elf brings Santa’s “nice” list to show your child, with their names on it! You can just do this on your computer and print it off in a nice font, or try handwriting it if you have good handwriting! Idea from Growing Clan 19. Sharing drawings There are a few rules of course, like NO TOUCHING THE ELF or he'll lose his magic powers! If you want to know more you should definitely read these 10 Elf on the Shelf rules every parent needs to know.
They encourage your kids to be well behaved and they’ll love to collect them all, so hopefully this should be a win-win! 63. Elves are playing a game You can buy Santa's official Scout Elf now in time for the festive season, then all that will be left is to name your Scout Elf. Plus, there's a range of elf clothing, accessories and props (some of which you'll see below) that can help to create fun new scenes and moments around the home. You can also buy a cuddly, plush toy version of Elf on the Shelf for extra elf magic. Try draping him over a branch, or have him hanging upside down! A really simple but effective last-minute Elf on the Shelf idea. 21. Sliding down the stairs Scout Elves can't talk but are great listeners: children can share secrets and wishes with their Elf as often as they'd like. The next day put out two Kinder Eggs, or similar egg-shaped treat, instead of the real eggs. This one gives you two days of ideas! 4. Elf is riding on a sleighPlace a little note (either written on the mason jar with a marker pen or jotted down on a gift tag) saying ‘Elf quarantine area’ or ‘Elf isolation house’. How to write an arrival letter
Christmas lights are sparkling, the weather’s getting frostier, and Scout Elves are making their way from the snowy North Pole. You can make this even more fun by using pen to drawer lumps of coal on the toilet rolls, plus add a little cloth to make it look like a scarf, to make them look like a snowman! Via Mummy of Four Image via Unique Young Mum 8. Chocoholic ElfSimply pop your Elf inside a mason jar (or any kind of clear container), add hand sanitiser, plus a mask for the Elf’s face. You could use doll clothes so that Elf has clothes his own size to organise. 54. Elf goes to space! DIY With My Guy has created a printable letter from your Elf to help make this idea work. 62. Use these fun FREE printable notes Naughty elf is sliding down the stair’s in one of the family’s slippers! Try adding some string so elf can hold on and make it look like a sleigh. 22. Elf is sewing Elf has made an aerial slide using a piece of string or ribbon strung across your room! He’s got a candy cane and hooked it over the string and is hanging on for dear life! 12. Chocolate poop
