With the holidays right around the corner, I know many of you are searching for Elf ideas! As a seasoned Elf-er, I love to share new ideas to try, as well as some of my old favorites. This year, to make your Elf on the Shelf adventures fun and easy, I included a complete list of Elf on the Shelf Ideas, complete with a calendar to plan the month out in advance!
How to Elf without the stress
If you are new to the Elf game, you don’t even have to rush out to get an elf. Just click here to get started! Amazon lists an official Elf on the Shelf store with everything you need.
If you don’t like the OG versions, other elves are out there. We use the Elf Magic elves. These elves are meant to be play mates for the holiday season, which my daughter loves! This year, we are adding a new Elf for Pistachio to enjoy!
No matter which kind of elf you get, remember that this is supposed to be fun. If your elf doesn’t move one night, it isn’t the end of the world. Maybe that elf is tired. Just stick a cup of coffee next to your elf the next day and tell the kids that the elf needs a pick-me-up!
Also, be sure to scroll down below, I put links to other posts on easy elf ideas for when you are too tired.
