The holiday season is upon us, and for parents everywhere, that means it’s The Elf on the Shelf time! However, not every parent has the time, energy, or creativity to come up with elaborate setups for their mischievous little elf friend. If you find yourself in this boat, fear not! We’ve got the ultimate lazy elf idea for you: The Pillow Tower Extravaganza! This simple yet delightful setup won’t break a sweat.
The Elf on the Shelf Pillow Tower
Let’s create this simple yet charming Pillow Tower Extravaganza in the living room. An easy setup for Christmas elves with a festive delight!
Supplies
- The Elf on the Shelf Doll
- Pillows
Simple, right?
Setting the Stage:
- Gather Your Supplies: Start by collecting a variety of pillows from around your home. Pillows of different shapes, sizes, and colors will add visual interest to your cozy tower. Raid the living room, bedrooms, and even that forgotten pillow in the closet.
- Choose a Prime Location: Select a prominent spot in your living room where your little ones are sure to notice the holiday elf’s latest escapade. The Christmas tree area or a central coffee table are ideal locations.
- Build Your Pillow Tower: Begin stacking the pillows to create a tower. Mix and match the pillows to add character to your little red elf’s perch. You don’t need a perfect tower – a whimsical and slightly off-kilter structure will only add to the charm.
- Place Scout Elf: Once your tower is complete, gently perch your The Elf on the Shelf on top. Position the North Pole Visitor to give the impression that it climbed up the tower during the night.
Enhance the Scene:
- Add Miniature Props: To enhance the lazy Scout Elf’s adventure, consider scattering tiny props around the tower. Miniature ornaments, festive trinkets, or even a tiny ladder will add an extra layer of detail.
- Create a Story: As you reveal the setup to your children, weave a whimsical tale about the easy elf’s journey to the top of the pillow tower. Encourage your kids to imagine the North Pole visitor’s nighttime adventures and ask them to share their own stories.
Embracing the holiday spirit doesn’t have to be a stress-inducing affair, especially when it comes to the beloved tradition of The Elf on the Shelf. The Pillow Tower Extravaganza offers a quick and easy solution for parents who want to delight their children without spending hours planning elaborate setups. Remember, it’s the joy and wonder in your child’s eyes that truly make the holiday season magical. So, sit back, relax, and let the Pillow Tower Extravaganza be your go-to lazy The Elf on the Shelf idea this year!

What is The Elf on the Shelf?
Embrace the cherished Christmas tradition of The Elf on the Shelf, which revolves around a captivating storybook and an adorable Scout Elf doll. This enchanting book, filled with poetic rhymes, unveils the purpose behind the Scout Elf’s visits.
Like clockwork, the little red visitor graces our homes each Thanksgiving and embarks on a nightly journey to and from the North Pole. Every morning, the thrill lies in discovering the Scout Elf in a brand-new, imaginative hiding spot within the house. From peeking out of the refrigerator to fishing in the sink, leaving mirror messages, or swinging from the lights, the North Pole Visitor’s antics never cease to amuse. But remember, there’s a cardinal rule to uphold: never touch the Scout Elf, for it’s the key to preserving their Christmas magic! Each family has the privilege of christening their very own Scout Elf with a special name. Finally, as Christmas Eve dawns, these loyal Scout Elves bid us farewell, returning to their North Pole workshop alongside Santa, awaiting their next wondrous adventure
