Are you an Elf On The Shelf family? Maybe you do this every year or maybe you are looking to start a new tradition!
To begin, parents can introduce their children to the story by reading The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition, which explains how Santa sends a scout elf to observe children and report back to him each night. Once the elf is “adopted” by the family, they can choose a name for it, which helps make it feel like a new friend. Each morning, the elf “returns” from the North Pole and appears in a different spot in the house, sparking excitement as kids search for where their elf has “landed.” The elf doesn’t move or talk when anyone is watching, adding a touch of mystery, and, according to tradition, children shouldn’t touch it—otherwise, it could lose its magic!
It takes quite a bit of planning to move the elf each night with a unique landing. Stay organized by downloading our FREE December Calendar. Also check out our 25 Easy Elf On The Shelf Ideas for some inspiration. The QR code on the Calendar will bring you to these easy ideas, so you can reference them without any hassle!
