I tied ours onto a Christmas banner and sat the elf on the swing. Use an old toilet paper roll and a piece of string to create a swing. I found this idea on Pinterest and changed it a little. She has never had an Elf before or even heard about them, so I hung the elf from the chandelier in the center of the family room and put the book on the coffee table so she wouldn’t miss it. I did this one on the very first day so it would be super obvious. Grab a toy or a few and an extra strand of Christmas lights and tie them all up. Tip: Don’t add the goldfish til the end because they get soggy rather quickly. This has been one of her favorites so far. We have this one from a fishing game, but any stick with a piece of string will work. Stick the elf inside the roll of toilet paper and roll them down the stairs.įill the sink with water, add some Goldfish (every kids favorite snack) and set the elf there with a fishing rod. You need stairs for this one too, but it’s so great and super simple. Tie some candy canes together to make a sled and then tie them to the banister on the stairs. If you have a staircase, this one is super easy. This one was much harder to find because it was on the third floor of the house, so the girls really had to search to find it. The elves set up a tea party with all of the princesses. My niece was over so we had 2 elves that night. I ordered a box of self-adhesive googly eyes and put eyes on all of our fruit in our fruit basket. Just put a bunch of bows and have your elf climb up. We did it on the fridge because I was worried it might mess up my paint. Get some holiday gift wrapping bows and create a “rock climbing” wall. I probably should have picked a toy she didn’t like as much.
She wasn’t so sure about this one because she wanted her Alien back. Our elf got my daughter favorite stuffed animal and stuck him in a glass jar on our shelves in the kitchen. I chose her dinosaurs and a dinosaur book to match. Pick a book and any toys and have the elf read to them. Leave the elf sitting on the roll so they know who is responsible. Pick a space and make a toilet paper mess. This is probably the one that’s taken the longest to set up but she loved it. Flip a coffee cup to seat the elf, and add a toothpick with mini marshmallows and set them over a candle so your elf is making S’mores. She spent the entire day telling everyone how naughty her elf Trixie is. Super simple and she thought it was hilarious. Our elf, Trixie, got my daughters panties and hung them on the Christmas tree as ornaments then hid in the tree as well. If you want to see our daily updates, check me out on Instagram I always share our elf on my stories. The best part is they only take a couple minutes (at most) to set up. Here are some fun ideas that have brought a lot of joy and Christmas magic to our home. Trixie (the name my daughter selected for our elf) is naughty but she keeps it simple, because this mommy needs her sleep. This is my first year having an Elf on the Shelf and I was worried my daughter wouldn’t really understand it yet because she’s only 3 and doesn’t go to school… oh boy, was I wrong! She loves her Elf so much and truly enjoys finding her everyday.
