Elf on the Shelf Ideas

As a reminder, we are bringing on the latest Elf on the Shelf Ideas. We have new ideas every day in the month of November and December, just for you! Don’t forget, for six years we have brought you new elf ideas.  You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial.  This particular idea, doesn’t need a bendable Elf, but having a kit is important for future ideas.

Elf Portrait Printable

For this Elf on the Shelf Idea, we printed off self portraits of Elf on the Shelf and plastered them all over our refrigerator. It was quite comical to look at in the kitchen all day. It was a reminder that our Elf is always watching.

Step up this Elf on the Shelf Idea by replacing family photos with Elf. This idea is perfect for a family photo gallery wall. If you have family photos, replace your photos with our Elf Portrait Printable.

I would suggest you carefully place your Elf in a watchful position. Clearly, putting Elf on the refrigerator handle (as we did for this photo) can cause some hungry tummies all day. If your placement wasn’t perfect and your Elf does happen to fall, don’t forget our Elf on the Shelf Magic Grippers (so no magic is lost) when you move Elf to his proper place for the day.

Who is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
