What is a Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt?

A candy cane scavenger hunt is a fun, holiday-themed activity where children follow clues to find hidden candy canes around the house. With the help of your little red holiday helper, this game turns ordinary spaces into an exciting treasure hunt, adding a sense of adventure and festive cheer. Kids follow each clue, which leads them to different locations until they uncover the final candy cane stash. It’s a great way to engage the family in a creative, playful experience while incorporating the classic holiday symbol of the candy cane.

A scavenger hunt with candy canes is a delightful way to bring extra magic to your home during the holiday season, and with a little help from your Jolly sprite, it becomes even more special. Now that you know how it works, let’s dive into the fun details of what you’ll get in the Elf Candy Cane Treasure Set to create your own unforgettable hunt!

What’s Included in the Elf Candy Cane Treasure Set?

How to Use Your Elf Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt

There are countless ways to incorporate the Elf Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt into your holiday season! Whether you’re looking for a single afternoon of fun or want to spread out the scavenger hunt over a few days, the flexibility of this kit makes it easy to customize your whole family’s experience.

Supplies for Magic Elf Ideas

• Elf-Sized Candy Cane Treasure Hunt Set
• Christmas Elf Doll
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
• Scissors
• Glue or Tape
• Bamboo Skewers or Toothpicks (for the flags)
• Candy Canes
• Printer (Low-cost pick)

Once you gather your miniature elf props and supplies, here are a few ideas to inspire your holiday planning:

1. Morning Surprise Scavenger Hunt

Set up the scavenger hunt the night before, and when your kids wake up, let the Christmas magic begin! Your Merry messenger can leave a note on the breakfast table inviting them to follow the candy cane clues. Start with the first pre-written clue card, which will guide your children to various spots around the house. The last clue leads to a stash of hidden candy canes, and your Yuletide elf can proudly hold the “Sweet victory awaits” sign to congratulate your little hunters!

2. Countdown to Christmas

Use the scavenger hunt as a fun countdown to Christmas! Hide one or two candy canes a day throughout the week. Each day, let your kids wake up to a new clue from your elf, with each hint leading them to a special candy cane. The Candy Cane Tracker will help them keep track of how many they’ve found, adding a playful countdown element to the days leading up to Christmas.

3. Group Hunt with Friends

Turn your family fun into a group activity by inviting friends or neighbors to join in! The editable invitations in the kit make it easy to plan a festive scavenger hunt party. Your North Pole visitor can take center stage, holding signs like “Follow the candy cane lane” as the kids run from room to room searching for hidden treats. The customizable clue cards also allow you to adapt the hunt to fit your home or outdoor spaces if you’re hosting a Christmas Party or neighborhood event.

4. Candy Cane Treasure in Unexpected Places

Get creative with your hiding spots! Maybe your festive scout will lead your kids to the fridge, a secret corner in the living room, or even under the Christmas tree! The clues can be as challenging or as simple as you want. You can hide candy canes in your child’s favorite book, under their pillow, or even in their winter boots. The more imaginative the locations, the more fun the hunt will be!

5. Elf Participation is Key

Make your family elf the star of the scavenger hunt! Set your Christmas companion up with one of the adorable signs from the set, adding extra magic to the experience. Santa’s helper could be found holding the “Finders keepers, sweet seekers” sign near the final candy cane stash, or they might be perched on the mantel with a “You’re so close, you can almost taste it” flag when the kids are nearing the finish line.

Personalizing Your Candy Cane Hunt at Home

While the kit comes with 36 pre-written clue cards, the 18 editable blank cards are perfect for personalizing your scavenger hunt. Tailor the clues to your family’s traditions and favorite hiding spots, use your Christmas elf’s name, or even add inside jokes. You can also use the blank cards to create a shorter or longer scavenger hunt, depending on how much time you want to spend searching for candy canes.

Some creative clue ideas might include:

• “Where do we store our winter hats and gloves? Look inside for a sweet surprise!”
• “Check under the white Christmas tree where gifts are placed, a candy cane treat will leave you amazed!”
• “By the cookies, your dad loves is your next clue, a candy cane is hiding just for you!”

Create Magical Holiday Moments

The Elf Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt set is a surefire way to add excitement to your holiday traditions. It brings together the joy of a family elf visitor and the thrill of a candy cane treasure hunt, making memories your children will treasure for years to come.

The Elf on the Shelf Christmas tradition is a beloved holiday activity that brings magic, mischief, and joy into homes each Christmas season. Whether you’re starting for the first time or introducing your family to this festive fun, we’ve got all the details to help you set things up smoothly. Plus, we’ve included a free resource to get your little visitor off to the right start!

Let’s dive into the wonderful world of The Elf on the Shelf and how you can easily bring this delightful tradition into your home.

What is The Elf on the Shelf Tradition?

The Elf on the Shelf is a whimsical North Pole visitor sent by Santa to observe the holiday fun in your home. Each night, your workshop elf flies back to the North Pole to report on all the joy and mischief, only to return by morning to a new spot in the house. The goal is simple: keep the holiday magic alive and spread Christmas cheer one playful moment at a time.

This merry messenger is more than just a fun hide-and-seek game; it’s a way to create lasting memories with your children as they eagerly search for their cheerful companion each morning.

Getting Started with The Elf on the Shelf

If you’re ready to welcome a tiny elf into your home, here’s how you can get started:

Choose the Perfect Arrival Date

Most families begin the tradition of The Elf on the Shelf on December 1st, but your elf can arrive anytime during the holiday season. Whether it’s right after Thanksgiving or closer to Christmas in the month of December, pick a date that works best for your family and get ready for your holiday helper to make its big debut. Take a look at a few of the many ways Elf can return during Scout Elf return week.

Pick a Name for Your Little Friend

One of the first tasks when your Christmas companion arrives is giving it a name! This is a fun way to make your festive scout part of the family. It could be something seasonal like Snowflake or Jingles, or maybe you’ll opt for a creative name that reflects your child’s favorite things. For helpful ideas, take a look at our list of Elf names. Go through this list of names with your kids and find one that fits your Scout Elf.

Once your tiny scout has a name, the holiday fun can officially begin.

Set Some Basic Rules

For the magic to stay strong, it’s important to set a few rules for your family elf.

Here are the top guidelines:

• No touching the elf! This is the most important rule. Touching Santa’s helper might make it lose its magic.
• The elf can’t talk, but it’s always watching and listening to the fun.
• El moves at night. Each morning, the little guy will be in a new spot.
• Remember to be kind—your jolly sprite loves seeing kindness in action!
• By setting these simple rules, you keep the magic alive all season long.

Daily Elf Adventures: What to Expect

Each night, your little elf flies back to the North Pole to report to Santa and returns by morning to a new hiding spot. Sometimes, your little guy might find itself in funny or mischievous situations, and other times it may simply be watching from a cozy nook. No matter where your holiday mischief-maker lands, the joy of discovering its new spot each day is what keeps the family tradition exciting!

If you’re feeling stumped for ideas, don’t worry. From simple setups to elaborate scenes, we have plenty of elf ideas to inspire your festive elf fun.

Saying Goodbye to Your Christmas Elf

When Christmas Eve approaches, it’s time for your Christmas elf to return to the North Pole for the final time. Many families like to mark this special moment with a heartfelt goodbye letter or a small farewell gift from their merry messenger. This closing chapter of The Elf on the Shelf tradition is a sweet way to reflect on all the fun memories your tiny elf brought into your home during the season. See some of the many ways The Elf on the Shelf can say good-bye.

Get ready to bring the magic of Christmas into your home with our delightful Printable Santa Beard Countdown Calendar! This unique DIY calendar combines the excitement of counting down to Christmas with the fun of transforming Santa’s beard using 24 fluffy cotton balls. It’s a joyful and interactive way to make the holiday season extra special for your family and loved ones.

In this blog post, we’ll share some creative ideas for using this printable in your home, especially if you have a festive holiday visitor (like an elf!) who loves to join in on the countdown fun.

How the Santa Beard Countdown Works

The concept is simple but oh-so-magical! Each day in December, leading up to Christmas Eve, your child will glue a cotton ball onto a numbered spot on Santa’s beard. Starting with number 1 on December 1st, and by the time you reach Christmas Eve, Santa’s beard will be completely filled with soft, fluffy cotton balls, giving him the full white beard he’s known for!

Here’s why this is such a wonderful activity for kids:

• Interactive Christmas Tradition: Kids love the hands-on element of gluing the cotton balls onto Santa’s beard. It’s an engaging Christmas activity they’ll look forward to doing each day!
• Countdown with a Twist: Unlike typical advent calendars that may just involve opening doors, this countdown craft encourages children to be creative and make something as the days go by.
• Perfect for Family Time: It’s a great excuse to gather the family each evening, talk about the day, and enjoy the excitement of another day closer to Christmas.

Incorporating Your Christmas Elf Visitor

For those families who welcome a Christmas elf into their home, this printable Santa Beard Countdown Calendar is a perfect prop for your little visitor to use. Imagine the elf arriving with the calendar already set up or helping with the countdown in funny and creative ways!

Here are some ideas for incorporating the Santa Beard Countdown with your holiday visitor:

1. Elf Delivery: Your elf can arrive at the beginning of the month holding the Santa Beard Countdown Calendar as a gift for your kids to enjoy all season long.
2. Daily Beard Watch: The elf could interact with Santa’s beard each morning! Whether they’re holding the cotton balls or sitting nearby, the elf can encourage kids to complete the countdown and add their cotton ball for the day.
3. Elf Helper: One morning, your elf might be found trying to glue the cotton balls on themselves! Maybe they’ve even glued one to their own hat or nose for extra giggles. This adds an element of surprise and delight to your countdown activity.
4. Elf Reminder: On busy days, it’s easy to forget the countdown, but your elf can help remind the kids to keep up with adding cotton balls to Santa’s beard. You could find the elf near the calendar, pointing to the number that needs filling!

Why You’ll Love This Christmas Countdown Printable

• Simple and Easy to Assemble: Just print the countdown calendar, grab some cotton balls, and glue – you’re all set! No complicated pieces or extra steps.
• A Craft for All Ages: Whether you have a toddler or a preteen, this calendar appeals to all ages. Younger kids will love gluing the cotton balls, while older kids may enjoy personalizing Santa with extra colors or glitter.
• Great for Busy Moms and Dads: This advent calendar is a simple yet exciting way to add a little holiday magic to your home without a lot of prep work.

Ideas to Make It Extra Special

Looking to go beyond the countdown? Here are some ways to add even more holiday spirit:

• Personalize Santa: Let your kids color in Santa’s suit or add sparkly glitter to his hat and beard. This makes the countdown uniquely yours and adds a little extra fun!
• Reward System: Attach a small treat or family activity to each day. For example, after placing the cotton ball on Santa’s beard, your family could enjoy a Christmas book or a cup of hot cocoa together.
• Christmas Eve Surprise: Once the beard is complete, you could have a surprise activity or gift waiting for the kids to find on Christmas Eve.

Make the Countdown a Memory

The countdown to Christmas is one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season for kids. With our Printable Santa Beard Countdown Calendar, you’ll make each day leading up to Christmas filled with joy, creativity, and anticipation. It’s a cherished tradition that can grow with your family each year.

The holiday season is here, and that means it’s time for your family elf to make their festive return! Whether your little guy has been visiting your home for years or you’re welcoming a new Christmas elf from the North Pole this season, we’ve got the perfect accessory for all their holiday mischief: a Printable Elf Delivery Box Prop Set! These elf-sized boxes will add excitement and magic to your elf’s stay, allowing them to play the role of a mini holiday messenger.

Included in this adorable printable set are four delivery boxes with fun and whimsical labels like “Elf Express,” “ElfMart,” “Elfazon,” and more. The boxes even feature “fragile,” “priority mail,” and “express delivery” markings for an extra touch of realism. All you need is cardstock, a printer, scissors, and some tape (or glue), and your tiny elf will have a special delivery service up and running!

Here are some fun ways to incorporate these delivery boxes into your family elf’s adventures this holiday season:

1. Special Delivery from Santa’s Workshop

Your cheerful companion from the North Pole can start off their holiday visit with a surprise delivery straight from Santa’s workshop! Imagine waking up to find your little elf standing next to a box filled with a note from Santa, a small toy, or some Christmas crafts for the kids. You can even include a letter from Santa himself, telling the kids they’ve made the nice list!

2. Elfazon Prime Orders Have Arrived!

Has your merry messenger been shopping online at Elfazon? Let them deliver tiny surprises in their little delivery box! One day, the box could hold a single M&M as a sweet treat (such a funny gift), and the next, it might be filled with a fun Christmas-themed eraser. You can even switch things up with mini activities or a little message from Santa. The possibilities for these elf-sized deliveries are endless!

3. Christmas Countdown Treats

Make each morning a fun surprise by having your holiday mischief-maker bring daily Christmas countdown treats. Each day, your miniature elf can deliver a box with a small note inside. On the note could be a clue to a hidden gift in the house. This idea works perfectly for a countdown to Christmas or as part of an advent calendar activity.

4. Secret Holiday Missions

Your tiny scout can deliver a top-secret mission each day, encouraging the kids to complete a holiday-themed activity! These missions could be anything from “bake cookies for the neighbors” to “make Christmas cards for family members.” Your jolly sprite will be there, standing proudly next to their little delivery box with the mission tucked safely inside, adding a little mystery and magic to your festive season.

5. Holiday Package Mix-Up

Whoops! It looks like your little visitor has mixed up the packages. For example, one box might contain a pair of miniature shoes left in the kitchen, while a paper clip ends up in the bathroom. Kids can have fun ‘finding’ these misplaced items each morning, solving the mix-up, and putting the deliveries where they really belong. This playful hide-and-seek game keeps the Christmas elf trying their best to get the deliveries right while adding some festive fun!

6.Mini Gift Wrapping Station

Transform one of the delivery boxes into a mini gift wrapping station. Your Christmas companion can be caught in the act of wrapping a tiny gift, with a roll of elf-sized wrapping paper, mini scissors, and tape. The kids will get a kick out of seeing their little friend hard at work, and you can add in some DIY fun by letting them help “finish” wrapping the gift.

7. Elf Express for the Pets

Don’t forget the family pets! Your holiday helper can make special deliveries for the pets in your household. Whether it’s a new cat tag or a dog treat, the box can be filled with a little something to brighten your pet’s day. You might even catch your festive elf giving the pet a friendly pat or sitting in the box themselves!

8. ElfMart Stocking Stuffer Surprise

Create an “ElfMart” scene with your yuletide elf delivering mini stocking stuffers. The kids can “shop” from the delivery box for things like holiday stickers, tiny trinkets, or festive erasers. It’s a fun way to spread out stocking stuffers across the season while letting your tiny scout add to the holiday fun!

9. Letters from the North Pole

One of the boxes could arrive directly from Santa’s North Pole headquarters! Your red guy can leave special notes or updates from Santa throughout the month. Perhaps Santa wants to congratulate the kids for their good behavior or remind them to do something kind for someone else. The delivery box is a great way to keep the magic alive all season long.

For these ideas, gather the following supplies:

• Elf-Sized Delivery Box Printables
• Christmas Elf Doll
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
• Scissors
• Glue or Tape
• Printer (Low-cost pick)
• Various supplies found around the home

With these creative ideas, your little visitor is sure to become the star of your holiday celebrations! These elf-sized delivery boxes add an extra layer of fun and excitement to your Christmas elf’s stay, giving them plenty of opportunities to deliver holiday cheer (and maybe a little mischief) each day. Get ready to create new holiday traditions and magical memories with your family elf this Christmas season!
