The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s time to get creative with The Elf on the Shelf antics! If you’re looking for a side-splitting, family-friendly prank to pull off this year, we’ve got just the idea for you. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to stage a rib-tickling The Elf on the Shelf scenario where your mischievous holiday elf finds itself in a comical bathroom adventure: falling into the toilet with a giant pair of jaws waiting to ‘chomp’ away! And the best part? We’ve got a free printable of those menacing jaws that you can easily use to set up this hilarious scene.

Menacing Jaws + The Elf on the Shelf Shark Idea

In this Scout Elf Bathroom idea, Santa’s helper is about to fall into the toilet. Let’s set up the scene.

Materials Needed:

The materials are simple, you can put together this easy holiday elf idea quickly.

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll(s)
• A bathroom with low traffic (to avoid any unintentional interactions)
• Cardstock or printer paper (this is the best cardstock)
• A printed copy of the free giant Jaws template (provided in the Free Christmas Printables section)
• Tape or adhesive putty
• Scissors
• Printer (Low-cost pick)
• A sense of humor

Instructions:

1. Print the Jaws Template: Start by downloading and printing our free Giant Jaws template. This will be 8.5″ x 11″ PDF. You can use scissors to cut down to fit your toilet bowl for maximum comedic effect. If the image is too small, add dark blue construction paper along the border to give the look of darker water.
2. Prepare the Bathroom: For this Scout Elf bathroom idea, choose a bathroom with low traffic for your holiday escapade. You don’t want anyone accidentally ruining the surprise! Ensure the bathroom is clean and tidy so you don’t get your little guy dirty.
3. Set the Stage: Open the toilet seat and carefully place The Elf on the Shelf doll on the rim. Position it in a way that makes it appear as though it’s teetering on the edge, about to take a fall into the jaws of the toilet. Use tape to hang your family elf there. You can also use clear elastics to connect your red guy to another little friend if you are doing this holiday elf idea with two elves.
4. Attach the Jaws: Now, take your printed jaws template and cut it out if needed). Use tape or adhesive putty to secure the jaws inside the toilet bowl, just below the toilet seat rim and above the waterline. Make sure they’re wide open, ready to ‘snap’ shut.
5. Add Some Drama:  As an option if you are creating The Elf on the Shelf idea for Adults or Teens,  add a touch of drama to the scene, you can add some ketchup or stuffing as if another friendly elf has gotten eaten. This is not a good elf idea for younger kids.
6. Leave a Note: To ensure everyone knows that the toilet is off-limits for the day, leave a humorous note from your family elf explaining the situation. You can have Santa’s helper express its surprise at the ‘big catch’ it narrowly avoided and apologize for the inconvenience. You can also add caution tape to the door or around the commode.
7. Watch and Enjoy: Now, all that’s left to do is wait for the reactions! Your family will undoubtedly get a good laugh out of this unexpected bathroom encounter.

The Elf on the Shelf is all about creating unforgettable moments and making cherished memories during the holiday season. This year, take your Scout Elf’s antics to a whole new level with this hilarious bathroom adventure featuring a daring plunge into the jaws of the toilet.

The holiday season is upon us, and that mischievous little elf is back to bring joy and laughter to households around the world. If you’re looking for a whimsical and uproarious way to kick off the holiday spirit, we’ve got the perfect idea for you: “Honk if You Love Elves.”

Imagine the surprise and amusement on the faces of your family and fellow commuters when they spot your North Pole friend taking a joyride in the family car, surrounded by signs declaring, “Honk if you love elves.” This quirky and delightful elf prank is sure to turn mundane car rides into memorable adventures. To make it even easier for parents, we’ve created printable signs that you can download and use for this elf escapade.

Tip: It’s important to make sure your teen is in the car for the adventure. Be sure to drop them off at middle school on that day! I kid, I kid – sorta.

Honk if You Love Elves: A Hilarious Car Adventure

For this embarrassing antic, you are going to need a few props and a very creative mind (don’t worry, we will help you with both!” Buckle up and get ready for a journey filled with laughter and festive fun.

Supplies

• North Pole Elf
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your printables)
• Scissors
•  Tape
• Printer (Low-cost pick)
• Honk If You Love Elves Printable Sign
• A car (preferably your own – wink!)

It’s pretty easy to pull off this prank. The hardest part will be your children trying to find the hiding spot.

Setting the Prank:

To execute this funny idea, start by buckling your little red guy into the car. Find an extra seat the the car. This elf is ready to roll. If you lack extra seats, secure him to the rearview mirror or the front dashboard. To add an extra touch of magic, consider decorating the car with Christmas car props like a car reindeer, festive garland, a lot of balloons, and if you are quite brave – glitter! (We won’t blame you if you skip the messy glitter.)

Download our specially designed “Honk if You Love Elves” signs and print them out. These signs are adorned with a festive heart and bold letters that are bound to catch the attention of anyone nearby.  Once printed, it’s time to place the signs on the car windows,

Hang your Honk If You Love Elves signs in on the windows ensuring they’re visible from all angles.. These printable props come in two sizes. Elf-sized and Human Sized. Mix it up and use a lot of signs. In fact, the louder you all with your sign placement the more embarrassing the car ride. Just make sure you don’t have too many signs in blind spots. Also, leave a clear opening by the window where your teen sits. You don’t want to block their face for this car ride.

Now that your hilarious elf idea is staged, it’s time to go to bed. Before you do, go to the bathroom mirror and practice your wave. You will be getting a lot of honks tomorrow morning. Make it a regal wave like Princess Diana (know your worth, mama) or it a very aggressive and over-the-top wave causing a little added humiliation to your children’s car ride. This is your time to shine mama – own it! Now go to bed. It’s going to be a busy day with the extra excitement you have to give this occasion.

In the morning, after the rooster crows, your child will likely be really upset they cannot find their elf. Absorb the desperation. Take a deep breath. You are about the save the day. You can guide them with questions like “Did you check outside,” “Go put your backpack in the car,” or “I think I left my sunglasses in the car, please go grab them?” Get creative with your ideas to get your child to the car. Or you can just be at a total loss and them them go for a while without finding their North Pole friend until it’s time for your road trip.

The Adventure Begins:

Picture the scene as your family embarks on their day-to-day activities with little red friend in the driver’s seat. Whether it’s the morning school run, a trip to the grocery store, or a commute to work, the “Honk if You Love Elves” signs are sure to create laughter and joy for everyone involved.
