How to Set Up The Elf on the Shelf Snowman Door Decoration

It’s a wonderful way to add some extra holiday cheer and creativity to your elf’s antics.

Supplies Needed for Your Holiday Helper’s Snowman Door

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
• Scissors
• Tape
• Black construction paper (for eyes, smile, and buttons)
• Orange construction paper (for the carrot nose)
• Christmas wrapping paper (for the scarf)

Instructions for Staging The Elf on the Shelf Snowman Door

1. Start by cutting out two large round eyes from black construction paper. Use the same paper to cut out five small circles for the snowman’s coal smile and three larger circles for the buttons.
2. Cut out a triangle-shaped carrot nose from orange construction paper.
3. Arrange the eyes, smile, nose, and buttons on the door to create the snowman’s face and body. Use tape to secure each piece in place.
4. Use Christmas wrapping paper to create a scarf for the snowman. Tape the scarf across the middle of the door so it looks like it’s wrapped around the snowman’s neck.
5. Position The Elf on the Shelf on the door handle as if they’re proudly admiring their snowman creation.

This snowman door decoration is a fun and easy way to bring a little extra magic into your home during the holiday season. Your kids will love seeing how their tiny elf transformed an ordinary door into a festive snowman, and it’s a perfect reminder of the creativity and joy that comes with the elf’s holiday antics!

What is The Elf on the Shelf?

Embrace the cherished Christmas tradition of Scout Elf, 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 an 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
