20 Fun Ideas for Your "Elf on the Shelf"
Consult this clever list to make it to Christmas Day with ease.
1 Hold a sack race.
Will he avenge last year's loss against Spiderman?
3 Fake a snow scene.
Make snow angels out of rice — you can also use sugar or sprinkles for an easier clean-up.
5Fill a "bubble bath."
Oh, if only adults could relax in a marshmallow jacuzzi.
7Allow him to sneak a peek at presents.
Fingers crossed he doesn't spill any secrets.
8Let him lead story time.
Even better: Get the whole toy box involved in this nightly ritual.
10Go fishing.
Goldfish crackers are just too cute!
12Kick-off your annual treat making.
Note to self: Plan this one for the weekend you've devoted to baking.
13 Indulge his sweet tooth.
Elves love things all things sugar, so he really couldn't help himself. We've all been there.
14Disguise him.
Painting a camouflaged face and burying him in the branches of your tree will take hide-and-seek to the next level.
15Get him into some mischief.
It'll definitely be a suprise when they take a trip to the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning — and find this.
16Ambush him with LEGOs.
Uh, oh — we bet he regrets not inviting the other toys out to play.
17Snap a picture of him.
A mini photo booth with DIY props make the perfect set-up for a photo shoot.
18Watch his heart melt.
A melted Frosty lookalike will remind kids how much they should value their own friendships.
19 Offer up a coloring book.
Staying inside the lines is not required.
20 Send him to bed.
Tissues make perfect fluffy elf-sized pillows. And let's face it, you could both use a nap!
