Make a mini balloon arch, announcing the Elf’s arrival in regal style. Attach a couple of candy cane skis to Elf, and let him “ski” down the stairs. Wrap some Hershey’s chocolates up in a baggie, with a note for the kids.
This is a great way to remind the kids just why he's visiting this month. Your elf thought it'd be funny to trap the kids in their rooms! They'll have fun ripping up the streamers to escape.
Hubba Bubba Elves
They report back to Santa Claus each night if the children have been naughty or nice. As Christmas draws near, parents are breaking out a beloved holiday tradition that is sure to keep their children on the nice list this year. Every December parents of the internet start to grumble about the Elf On The Shelf. And look, I get it, some of you got stuck with some of Santa’s naughty elves.
Use them to create a shoe train around the tree. And since your kids can’t touch the Elf, it might teach them a lesson about not picking up after themselves. Elves are experts in gift-giving but unfortunately, pranking as well. So don't be surprised if you find your toilet completely wrapped in gift wrapping paper one of these days.
Have Elf wrap his arms around a jar of candy.
Never forget to look up, especially when it comes to finding the elf each day. At least once a week, hang your elf from a light fixture or fan. Get into the recycling bin to create a can choir for the kids this year! Bend each can halfway to create a torso and "legs" look, draw on faces and assemble an audience of elves. Festive Christmas tape puts a delightful twist on this set-up, but any tape will work to pin your elf to the wall with a homemade sign.
We were both creased up and it was one of those funny things. The acrid smell of burnt plastic started spreading through the house and her boyfriend raced upstairs shouting that something was on fire. Tangeman says when moms and dads lack the right tools, parenting sometimes becomes reactive. It's then that parents may use what she calls "default technologies," basically saying to a child, "if you don't do what I want you to do, something bad will happen."
Elf on the Shelf Doing Yoga Idea
This is one you can prepare ahead of time and easily set up when you’re short of time. A matching Minnie Ears headband for you and your elf! We still have our ears from our first trip to Disneyland when the kid were 2 and 4 years old so it was a cute scene to set up with their elf to match. You can also do this activity using toilet paper rolls and sticking on noses, buttons and scarves instead. So I planned the biggest surprise ever for my family, including my husband, by booking us a Disney Wonder Cruise departing from Brisbane, Australia.

Make sure to place the elves in a visible area like above your vacuum cleaner so they'll easily see your effort. You might want to keep your family portraits in a safe place or hide all your dry erase markers in the meantime. You'll never know when your Elf might just feel like doing some graffiti at night when you're heavily asleep. This post contains links for items to purchase. To create a sign for the Elf to hold, glue the card to the top of a paper straw.
Luckily, the kids woke up in time to make sure he didn't get away with the goods. Use little balls of paper and Legos to set the scene of an epic snowball fight! If you don't mind the mess, you could even sprinkle some flour on the ground for effect. Have you been reading these beloved books to your kids?
Max Oliver had just introduced the mischievous-looking elf to her son Charlie, then five, but within 15 minutes there was a burning smell. "As parents, we want to be consistent," Tangeman says. "When you make the Christmas presents contingent on behavior, what association is your child creating with Christmas? I'd argue that it's not a positive one." Hide a treat under the cups for your child to wake up and find. This is a great one for the weekend if you are willing to allow a pre-breakfast treat and hopefully get to sleep in a little longer. Similar to the cotton ball bubble bath, this bauble bath is a fun festive twist.
These naughty Elves have decided to throw a popcorn party! All you need is a readymade bag of popcorn for this idea. This naughty Elf has made his own "lemonade" stand. Line up clear plastic cups filled with apple juice and make a sign saying "Lemonade Stand" to recreate this idea. Position the Elf's hands just right to make this look truly hilarious.
Earlier this month, TikTok user @hairbyholliekate received nearly 72m views on a video of the Elf on the Shelf prank she pulled on her son. Send him riding into the living room, ready to spread a little holiday magic. The fridge is the perfect place for your Elf on the Shelf to hide. But chances are he’ll get a little bored and get into some mischief while waiting for your child to find him. Chances are, if you’ve got sweet kids’ snacks around, your Elf will get into them. After all, Buddy the Elf told us all that elves love all foods with sugar in them.
Stolen a pair of everyone’s undies and hung them on the tree. They could not stop giggling every time they passed the tree. Especially my eldest daughter when she realised the Elf was wearing her Frozen undies. A regal outfit for your Elf while he hangs out with some of the other decorations. This idea adds an extra challenge for your kids when they try and find the Elf well camouflaged with the other decorations around the house.
