The holiday season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to dust off your creative thinking cap and come up with some fun and festive holiday elf ideas for your kids. If you’re looking for a unique and entertaining twist on this beloved tradition, we’ve got just the idea for you: The Elf on the Shelf feeding dinosaurs! In this enchanting setup, your family elf will be surrounded by plastic dinosaurs enjoying a tasty treat of mini marshmallows.

Before we dive into the details of how to create this magical scene, let’s look at list of dinosaur ideas with THe Elf on the Shelf that will leave your little ones thrilled.

What are some good ideas for The Elf on the Shelf and Plastic Dinosaurs?

Combining The Elf on the Shelf with plastic dinosaurs is a fun and imaginative way to create memorable holiday moments for your children. Here are some creative ideas to get you started:

  1. Dinosaur Snowball Fight: Set up a scene where your holiday elf has enlisted the help of some dinosaurs for a snowball fight. Use small cotton balls as snowballs and position the dinosaurs and Scout Elves with cotton balls in their hands as if they’re in the middle of a friendly winter battle.
  2. Dino Explorer: Create a scenario where your Scout Elf has become an adventurous dinosaur explorer. Surround the holiday visitor with dinosaurs and place some miniature explorer props nearby, like a tiny backpack, a map, and a flashlight. You can even set up a “dinosaur dig” by burying small dinosaur toys in a tray of sand for your North Pole visitor to discover.
  3. Scout Elf’s Ark: Any idea why the dinosaurs are extinct? They forgot to get on Scout Elf’s Noah’s Ark! Create Noah’s Ark with the dinosaurs left in the background. On the Elf’s boat will be animals two-by-two and the dinos holding a sign that saying, “Oh no, was that today!?” This can be used with other Christian ideas for elves.
  4. Dino Dance Party: Arrange the dinosaurs in a circle, and your holiday visitor can be in the center with a mini boombox or musical instrument. It looks like they’re leading a dinosaur dance party! Add some colorful tissue paper or confetti for a festive touch. You can even invite friends over and host a dinosaur party with fun dinosaur games for kids.
  5. Dino Spa Day: Give the dinosaurs a day of pampering and relaxation at a dinosaur spa. Your Scout Elf can be the spa owner or masseuse, offering massages or beauty treatments to the dinos. Use tiny washcloths, toy beauty supplies, and miniature towels to set the scene. Everyone knows how rough a dinosaur’s skin can get!
  6. Dinosaur Movie Night: Set up a tiny movie theater with a small screen and seats. Santa’s helper can be the projectionist, and the plastic dinosaurs can be the audience. Place popcorn (small popcorn pieces or white pom-poms) and little 3D glasses on the dinosaurs for a cute touch. Watch something like The Land Before Time.
  7. Reading to Dinosaurs: Have the North Pole visitor read to a set of plastic dinosaurs. Encouraging reading by leaving a note from the family elf asking your child to read their favorite book.
  8. Dinosaur Dentist: Create a scene where the little guy is playing the role of a dentist for the dinosaurs. Set up a small dental chair, tiny dental tools (which can be craft supplies), and maybe even some dental X-rays (tiny drawings or printouts) to inspect the dinosaurs’ “teeth.” This idea is exceptionally great if you are waiting on the arrival of a Christmas Tooth Fairy.
  9. Dinosaur Bakery: Your Scout Elf can be the head baker at a dinosaur-themed bakery. Arrange the plastic dinosaurs around a tiny kitchen setup with playdough or clay as “dinosaur treats” being prepared. You can even add a little apron on the little red guy or use dinosaur cookie cutters.
  10. Dinosaur Eating the Scout Elf: If you have two or more elves, have the Dinosaur eating one of the elves with the other helper trying to get the North Pole friend out of the grip of the dino’s jaws.
  11. Dino Train Adventure: Have Santa’s helper lead a dinosaur parade or adventure with a toy train. You can set up tracks, and the dinosaurs can ride in train cars. Make it more fun by placing a small “North Pole” sign at the destination, signifying a journey to the North Pole. If you are exceptionally into naughty pranks for THe Elf on the Shelf, tie Scout Elf to the train track.
  12. Dino Art Class: Position the dinosaurs around a table with art supplies, and your holiday elf can be the art teacher. Use tiny canvases, paintbrushes, and colorful paints (non-toxic) for the dinosaurs to “create” masterpieces.
  13. Dinosaur in the Garden: Take Scout Elf and the dinosaur outside and place them in the garden. See how long it takes for your child to find helper. You can leave clues inside.
  14. Dino Tug of War: Set up a scene where Santa’s helper and some dinosaurs are engaged in a friendly game of tug of war with a small ribbon or string. Make it look like a playful and spirited competition between the elves and the dinos.
  15. Dino-Store: Bring a funny note using a dinosaur toy that says “Let’s shop with T-Rex as the Dino-Store!”

Remember, the key is to let your imagination run wild and have fun with The Elf on the Shelf and plastic dinosaur ideas. The goal is to create magical and memorable moments that your children will cherish during the holiday season.

Let’s look at one last idea we can set up together.

The Elf on the Shelf Dinosaur Feeding Idea

On to the sweet 16 of dinosaur ideas for The Elf on the Shelf – Scout Elf feeds the dinosaurs.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, gather these essential materials:

  1. The Elf on the Shelf doll
  2. A small sign that reads “Do Not Feed the Dinosaurs”
  3. Plastic toy dinosaurs
  4. Mini marshmallows
  5. Small toy food dishes (optional)
  6. A sense of adventure and imagination!

Setting the Scene

  1. Choose a location: Find a suitable spot in your home where The Elf on the Shelf can interact with the plastic dinosaurs. A bookshelf, mantel, playroom, kitchen countertop, or even a cozy corner of your living room can work perfectly.
  2. Arrange the dinosaurs: Place the plastic dinosaurs in a semi-circle or group them together as if they’re enjoying a meal. Be creative with their positions; some can be standing, while others may be sitting or even lying down.
  3. Add the mini marshmallows: To make it look like the dinosaurs are munching on something, sprinkle mini marshmallows around their “meal” area. You can also place a few marshmallows in the toy food dishes for added detail or even in the dinosaur’s jaws.
  4. Position the Scout Elf: Carefully position The Elf on the Shelf in the middle of the dinosaur gathering. Ensure they have a good view of the marshmallow feast.
  5. Display the sign: Place the “Do Not Feed the Dinosaurs” sign next to your Scout Elf. You can prop it up on a small stand or simply lean it against a nearby object. This adds a humorous touch to the scene as if your Scout Elf is trying to maintain order among the rambunctious dinos.

Creating the Magic

Once you’ve set up the scene, it’s time to let the magic unfold! Here are some ideas to make THe Elf on the Shelf scenario even more engaging for your children:

  1. Write a note: Leave a note from the holiday visitor explaining that they caught the dinosaurs sneaking marshmallows and had to remind them of the rules. This personal touch can add an extra layer of enchantment to the setup.
  2. Encourage imagination: Encourage your children to come up with their own stories about what’s happening. Are the dinosaurs behaving themselves, or are they causing mischief? The possibilities are endless!
  3. Morning surprises: You can stay with the dinosaur theme if you want. We offered plenty of holiday elf ideas. Each morning, have your kids excitedly search for their family elf and discover what mischief the dinosaurs got into overnight. This daily surprise can become a cherished holiday tradition.

The Elf on the Shelf is all about creating magical moments and cherished memories during the holiday season. The Elf on the Shelf feeding dinosaurs idea is a delightful way to captivate your children’s imagination and make the holiday season even more special. With a little creativity and a few simple materials, you can bring this enchanting scene to life and keep the holiday spirit alive in your home. So, get ready to embark on a prehistoric adventure with your Scout Elf and the dinosaurs, and watch your kids’ faces light up with wonder and joy!

The holiday season is a time of magic, wonder, and delightful surprises. And what better way to celebrate the holiday spirit than with everyone’s favorite mischievous little visitor – The Elf on the Shelf? If you’re looking for a fun and hilarious way to entertain your kids this year, look no further! We’ve got a fantastic Christmas elf idea that’s sure to bring smiles and laughter to your home: The Elf on the Shelf filling water balloons in the kids’ bathroom sink!

The Elf on the Shelf Water Balloon Antic

In a sweet little narrative, follow the story of Jingles and repeat the same idea for your family elf.

Chapter 1: Meet The Elf on the Shelf

Before we dive into the watery antics of our mischievous little friend, let’s get to know our pint-sized troublemaker a little better. Our holiday elf is named Jingles, and he’s here to spread holiday cheer and laughter wherever he goes. Jingles is a tiny helper with a big personality, and he’s known for his creative and sometimes downright silly ideas.

Chapter 2: The Kids’ Bathroom Surprise

It was a chilly December morning when our family discovered Jingles’ latest escapade. As the kids rushed to the bathroom (because Christmas Elf Bathroom Antics are funny) to get ready for the day, they were met with an unexpected and delightful sight. The bathroom sink was filled with colorful water balloons! Jingles had clearly been hard at work, filling up balloon after balloon, and he wasn’t finished yet.

Chapter 3: Balloon Bonanza

Jingles, the mastermind behind this watery wonderland Scout Elf prank, had about a dozen water balloons filled and was currently working on filling another one. His tiny elf-sized hands were definitely at work, and his mischievous smile was contagious. The kids couldn’t believe their eyes and burst into fits of giggles.

Chapter 4: The Giggle Factor

One of the best things about The Elf on the Shelf antics is the joy and laughter they bring to the whole family. Jingles had certainly outdone himself this time, turning a simple bathroom sink into a water balloon paradise. The kids couldn’t resist the temptation – they grabbed a few balloons and started a friendly water balloon fight right there in the bathroom… okay, they didn’t because mom doesn’t like The Elf on the Shelf mess.

How to Stage The Elf on the Shelf Water Balloons

elf on the shelf water balloon idea in the bathroom

The Elf on the Shelf brings a touch of magic to the holiday season, and Jingles the Scout Elf certainly knows how to make memories that will last a lifetime. Filling water balloons in the kids’ bathroom sink was just one of his many creative ideas, but it’s a moment the kids will treasure forever. So, if you’re looking for a funny and memorable idea this holiday season, consider surprising your little ones with a water balloon extravaganza in the bathroom. Just be prepared for lots of laughter and perhaps a little cleanup – after all, that’s all part of the holiday magic!

Supplies:

Instructions:

  1. Get together some water a balloons. Fill and tie off a few and add them to the bottom of your child’s bathroom sink.
  2. Wrap another balloon around the faucet of the bathroom sink. You can add a bit of water but don’t fill it. Turn off the water and let it sit there.
  3. Wrap your Scout Elf doll around the sink faucet.
  4. Viola – easy peasy.
