What are some fun things to do with your elf on the shelf?
We all dread the question of “Why my Elf on the Shelf is Boring?” The Elf season never has to be dull. There are plenty of easy and fun things you can do with your The Elf on the Shelf Doll. Kids love silly antics but of course as a parent, you want your child’s elf to have fun antiques but not show bad behavior as something to be laughed at.

What can I do with Elf on the Shelf and the fridge?
The refrigerator is a great place to do fun things with your Elf on a Shelf. It provides silly Elf antiques and usually provides amble time for your child to hunt for their Elf in the morning (because the fridge is often the place place anyone looks.) To speed up the process, you can always begin to make breakfast and help your child find the family Elf.

What 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.
