Did you know the North Pole is rather cold? I know, I know. Obvious question. However, while many understand the North Pole is rather cold, they don’t always recognize that elves love the sun. Visiting their host family during the holiday season is a great time to de-thaw, take an elf beach vacation, or pull out the fake and bake.

If you are looking to give your Elf beach props, consider this funny s-ELF tanning kit. Add a desk lamp and some sun shades (Barbie sunglasses are great for this) and you are all set to complete this quick and easy idea for Elf.

Punny Elf Self Tanning Kit

No, we didn’t misspell funny. This cheeky elf idea is rather punny and plays on the phrase self-tanning kit. Instead of tanning spray, we use Cheese Whiz and cheese balls for the best orange tan ever!

Pun: a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

Supplies

Who doesn’t love a few holiday elf props you can eat later? If you’re a faux cheese eater (wink – wink), this adorable idea is for you. Gather the following supplies for your witty visitor.

• An Elf
• Towel
• Beach Props
• Cheese Balls (we use Utz Cheese Balls)
• Canned Cheese Spray  (we used Kraft Easy Cheese)
• Self-Tanning Kit Printable Set (see below)
• Printer paper
• Printer
• Scissors
• Tape or Glue

Directions

It’s time to pull this Hilarious Idea into motion. First, you will need to download your funny Self Tanning Kit printable.

Once you complete your purchase and download your PDF file, print it from your home computer or (print at Staples.) For reference, I printed mine from my home computer and they still gave me though bright, eye-catching pops of color.

Next, cut out your labels. Use a glue stick or double-sided tape to attach the labels to your canned cheese spray and container of cheese balls. I actually wrapped the labels around both cheese products and tabled them on the back side of the item.

Stage your Elf in a fun relaxing position on a beach towel.

Extend this Funny Elf Idea

You can always go a step further than we did with this fun idea. Using the tanning kit, incorporate some of these other easy and fun holiday elf ideas.

• Are you going on vacation? Elf can travel with you. Maybe he can bring a fun beach basket filled with things for the trip.
• Use this idea with our fun beach backdrop for Elf. You can add sandbox sand and some shells for a fun scene.
• Put Elf under a heat lamp, like a tanning bed. This can be done with a desk lamp.
• Add some Barbie and Ken Beach Clothes for Elf props. I used a surf vest from my 1980s Barbie accessories.

What are some other orange foods I can use?

Of course, if cheese in a can or small snowballs of cheese are not your thing, try some of these other orange foods to pull off your funny Elf idea. You will need to get clever for how you use the s-ELF tanning kit labels on these items, but it’s still doable.

Orange foods include…

• Pumpkin
• Oranges
• Sweet Potatoes
• Carrots
• Cantaloupes
• Mangos
• Peaches
• Cheese Chips

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 upon us, and that means it’s time for some mischievous antics from our favorite pint-sized holiday visitor – The Elf on the Shelf! If you’re looking for a hilarious and slightly naughty idea to entertain your family this year, we’ve got just the thing. Get ready for a chuckle-inducing adventure as we delve into the world of The EElf on the Shelf and the underwear escapade that’ll leave your kids in stitches!

Underwear Prank with The Elf on the Shelf

The Setup

The Elf on the Shelf is known for its creative and often silly antics, but this year, our little friend has outdone themselves. In the middle of the night, Santa’s helper sneaks into the laundry room or your child’s room and “borrows” six pairs of underwear from the family’s clean laundry stash. This isn’t just any underwear; it’s the funniest, quirkiest, and most colorful underwear you can find. Think polka dots, stripes, superhero prints – the works!

Supplies

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Underwear
• Tape (double-sided, packing, or painters.)

The Antic

After raiding the underwear drawer, our mischievous guy makes their way to the kids’ bedroom door, where they have a surprise in store. With their tiny elf-sized hands, they hang up the six pairs of underwear on the door using tape. This of course creates a spectacular display for everyone to see in the morning.

Before the little guy is done, make sure underwear is around the laundry basket or undergarment drawer where the North Pole visitor grabbed his loot. This makes two locations of a mess for this Scout Elf prank.

The Hilarity Unfolds

As the sun rises and your kids rub their sleepy eyes, they’ll be in for a jaw-dropping surprise. The bedroom door, adorned with a colorful assortment of underwear, will leave them giggling and wondering just what the Scout Elf was up to during the night.

But that’s not all! Here’s the pièce de résistance: nestled among the hanging underwear is The Elf on the Shelf himself, snugly tucked into one of the pairs, looking utterly ridiculous and ready to make your family’s day. This is the moment when laughter fills the room as everyone discovers the hilarious antics.

The Conversation Starter

The Elf on the Shelf underwear extravaganza is not just about fun; it’s also a great way to spark some laughter and conversation with your kids. You can ask questions like, “Why do you think the visitor chose underwear for its prank?” or “What do you think the little guy was trying to say with this silly display?” Maybe your child should have put away their laundry last night? This unexpected twist will have your family chatting and giggling over breakfast.

Remember the rules, you can’t touch family elf for a day – this ensures your underwear is hanging out all day long.

Documenting the Fun

Don’t forget to capture the moment! Take pictures of your kids’ reactions when they discover the outrageous underwear stunt. Share these funny photos with friends and family, and you might just inspire others to create their own holiday hilarity. Make sure you check out this huge list of 1,000 Ideas for The Elf on the Shelf and share on social media hashtagging #FrugalCouponLiving.

The Elf on the Shelf underwear extravaganza is a fantastic way to inject some humor into the holiday season. It’s a light-hearted, family-friendly prank that will have your kids laughing for days and create lasting memories. If your kid really loves the idea, try the London/France underwear prank where The Elf on the Shelf puts underwear on the fan.

So, this year, let your holiday visitor get a little cheeky with the laundry, and watch as your family’s holiday season becomes even more joyful and unforgettable!

The Elf on the Shelf Family Photo

The holiday season is all about laughter, joy, and creating unforgettable memories. If you’re looking to add a touch of whimsy to your holiday elf escapades, we have a rib-tickling idea that will have the whole family in stitches. Get ready to transform your ordinary family photo into a festive tableau of red elves with white collars. It’s time to let The Elf on the Shelf unleash its mischievous magic with this creative and hilarious idea!

Materials Needed:

1. The Elf on the Shelf Doll
2. Scissors
3. Glue or Tape
4. Red and white construction paper
5. A family photo that you’re willing to transform into a red elf masterpiece

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Gather Your Materials: Start by collecting all the necessary materials. Ensure you have enough red and white construction paper to cover the bodies of each family member in the photo.
2. Select the Perfect Family Photo: Choose a family photo that captures the essence of your crew. It could be a recent snapshot or a nostalgic gem from the archives.
3. Cut Out Red Elf Bodies: Take the red construction paper and cut out elf-shaped bodies that are large enough to cover the bodies of everyone in the photo, leaving only their heads exposed. You can create a template to ensure uniformity in the elf shapes.
4. Cut Out White Collars: Now, cut out white collars from the white construction paper. These will be the stylish accents that complete the elf look. The collars should be wide enough to cover the neck and shoulders of each family member.
5. Attach the Elf Bodies: Carefully tape the red elf bodies onto the photo, ensuring that only the heads of each family member remain visible. Have fun positioning the elf bodies in different poses—some can be waving, while others might be striking a silly dance move.
6. Add the White Collars: Once the elf bodies are securely in place, affix the white collars to each little guy. This step adds a delightful touch of detail to your transformed family photo.
7. Display the Elf-tastic Photo: With your masterpiece complete, display the elf-ified family photo in a prominent place. Watch the reactions of family and friends as they discover the delightful surprise orchestrated by your mischievous family elf.
8. Capture the Laughter: Be sure to capture the moments of laughter and surprise as your family and guests come across the transformed photo. It’s these joyous reactions that make this holiday idea truly magical. Share your holiday elf idea on Instagram and tag @FrugalCouponLiving using hashtag #FrugalCouponLiving

The holiday season is a magical time, and what better way to add some extra enchantment to your home than with a creative idea? This year, let’s embark on a whimsical journey of elfish mischief by introducing the Miniature Balloon Snowman Surprise! In this blog post, we’ll guide parents on how to bring this adorable idea to life, spreading joy and festive spirit throughout the home.

The Elf on the Shelf Balloon Snowman Idea

This easy idea for The Elf on the Shelf is sure to bring smiles and laughter to your home during the holiday season. The Miniature Balloon Snowman Surprise not only captivates the imagination of children but also allows parents to showcase their creativity.

Materials Needed:

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Scissors
• Glue or Tape
• Miniature Balloons (white)
• Sharpie Markers (orange and black)
• Snowman Hat Prop
• Christmas Scarf
• String

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before diving into this delightful idea, gather all the necessary materials. Ensure that you have miniature white balloons, string, orange and black Sharpie markers, a snowman hat prop, a Christmas scarf, and a permanent marker.

Step 2: Inflate the Balloons

Carefully inflate three miniature balloons to create the snowman’s body. If you don’t have mini balloons, just slightly inflate regular-size balloons. Tie them together to form a stack, ensuring they are securely fastened. These balloons will serve as the base for your adorable snowman.

Step 3: Add Facial Features

Using the orange and black Sharpie markers, draw the snowman’s facial features on the front balloon of the stack. Add cute button eyes, a carrot nose, and a friendly smile. Get creative with the expressions to give your snowman character!

Step 4: Accessorize with Hat and Scarf

Place the snowman hat prop on the top balloon of the stack. You can use a miniature hat from your holiday decorations or even craft one with simple materials. Next, drape the Christmas scarf around the snowman’s “neck.” For a personal touch, consider using a scarf that belongs to your children.

Step 5: Craft a Miniature Balloon Message

Take a separate miniature balloon and write a message on it using a permanent marker. A playful suggestion could be “Do you wanna build a snowman?” This adds an interactive and engaging element to the surprise.

Step 6: Set the Scene

Now that your Miniature Balloon Snowman is ready, strategically place it in a location where The Elf on the Shelf can be discovered by the children. Consider having the Christmas elf present the message balloon as an invitation for the kids to join in the festive fun.

Enjoy the magical moments as your little ones eagerly build their own holiday memories with the mischievous help of The Elf on the Shelf!
