Elf on the Shelf in the Mason Jar
Have you heard of Elf on the Shelf Quarantine Mason Jar? Well this is kind of similar only it encourages your child to clean their room.
Elf on the Shelf Supplies Needed
- The Elf on the Shelf Doll
- Mason Jar
- A Messy Room
- Pen or Marker
- Paper
In this Two Elves on the Shelf Idea, the elves have noticed a messy room. Of course, you can do this with only one elf too. Write an Elf on the Shelf clean your room letter…
“We stuffed ourselves in these jars so you could clean up the mess around us and we wouldn’t have to report you to Santa!”
This sounds like a fair warning to me before someone gets on Santa’s naughty list. What is great about this Mason Jar Elf on a Shelf idea is your child can work around the mason jars and never touch the elf/elves, so no magic is lost.

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.
