About this deal
All good things come to an end and your Elf will have to head back to the North Pole on 24 December to help Santa get ready for next year. Our son loves going to find him, and often he is doing something fun or bringing him something to do.
For funny Elf on the Shelf ideas, you are going to love these Elf on the Shelf hat printables and add them to all of your family photos!It also comes with a 60-page book of ideas, which will set you up for the countdown to Christmas, and then some! This works even better if you attach some of your child’s favourite action figures to the sleigh with wool or string as if they are pulling it! Add some tiny marshmallows, with one on a little twig, and make a little fire from sticks next to his sleeping bag. Most US Elves tend to get to their families after Thanksgiving, while Elves on their way to UK families usually get here around 1 December.
This idea shows Elf's head and arms coming out of a nice sturdy Pringles tube (so Elf can stand up). They sometimes leave a note or little gift, such as new pyjamas, for your child to say bye and see you next year.Part of the fun of adopting an Elf is when the kids rush around excitedly looking for them in the morning. Smear some cream or moisturiser on his face, thick enough that it looks like a face mask, and if you have some cucumber cut out tiny circles to add to his eyes. If you have a big cuddly snowman, or another white or pink cuddly toy, put it by the grater and use marshmallows the same colour as your chosen toy's fur to make it look as though Elf has been grating him. Even adults shouldn't touch Elves as it can zap their magic but there are some occasions when it's ok. Lots of our Elf on the Shelf ideas can be put together with things you’ll hopefully have around the house.
