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.

Double the trouble, double the fun. Get creative with these cute Elf on the Shelf Ideas for Two Elves. Where to buy a second Elf on the Shelf Doll and cute and easy two elf ideas. New original and funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily plus free Elf printables.

Elf on the Shelf Ideas For Two Elves

elf on the shelf ideas with two elves

Let’s chat! I have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily (in the months of November and December) for the past seven years. That’s almost 60 new ideas a year, so very close to 500 new ideas. In that time, very few of my ideas include two elves. Why? Because once you introduce a new Elf, expect your child to expect a new Elf each time. It’s just hard to go back. That being said, there are many cute Two Elf on a Shelf Ideas.

Before moving on, remember you can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

Two Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Can you have 2 Elf on the shelves?

Yes. You can have 2 Elf on the Shelves. You will need to buy an authentic Elf on a Shelf Kit.  Creatively Classic Activities and Books (Elf on the Shelf founders) do not sell the dolls individually or in sets of two. You will know you have the REAL Elf on the Shelf Doll if you buy your elf doll in a box with a book.

Where to Buy a Second Elf on the Shelf Doll

However, when introducing a second Scout Elf to the family, you have a few options…

Another Real Elf on the Shelf Set

Minatare Elf on the Shelf

Elf Baby

Any Elf Doll

Elf on The Shelf Fake

Elf on the Shelf Plushee Pals Set

If using a small or miniature Elf, you can have an entire year of  a baby Elf on the Shelf and the next year, that mini elf can turn into a larger Elf doll.

For many of Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial.  You also can shop our collection of Elf Printables for ideas to cover the entire season!

How to Stop Elf on the Shelf

If having an Elf on the Shelf is too much, you can make your Elf doll a temporary visitor. Sometimes elves do not visit for the entire season. Sometimes they share families. You also can use an Elf on the Shelf Retirement Letter, so your Elf can move on to a new family. One last idea, is having your Elf travel. Using an Elf Postcard, your elf can write a note form the North Pole or Beach. During this time your family will not have Elf while they spend a few days traveling.

The same can be said for having two Elf on the Shelf dolls. You can have your second elf temporarily visit as a friend or relative of your family’s Elf doll. You can also have your Elf retire moving on to a new family who needs to make the nice list.

You can tell the story of Christmas in a way that meet your child’s needs. Like through a  Christmas LEGO Set. Teach your child the Christmas story with this LEGO Countdown to Christmas.

We have quite the challenge for your family. Build an entire Christmas nativity set and read and explore the story of Christmas in the Bible story as you work. Twelve days of LEGO fun. Twelve days of the Gospel. A LEGO Nativity Advent Calendar in one!


How to Make a LEGO Nativity Scene

Do you have a creative child? Give them 12 days of activities to create a final goal – a DIY Christmas Nativity. You do not need a certain number of pieces. you can use whatever colors you want. This will allow you to gather your loose pieces and get crafty and build with building blocks.

Build Your Own LEGO Christmas Nativity Set with Printable Challenge

LEGO Nativity Instructions

Follow these Nativity directions for how to use the Lego Advent Calendar.

  1. Print your LEGO nativity cards.
  2. Cut LEGO cards and place by order of day.
  3. Each day take a card and make the LEGO figure to add to your nativity scene.
  4. Read the accompanying Christmas Bible verse after (or before) you build.
  5. When all LEGO figures have been completed, read the full story of Christmas found in Matthew 1:18 -2:12: Luke 2:1-20.

For the LEGO printables, step-by-step nativity figure instructions are not included. Rather your child is given a a list of what to make each day. Let your child get creative with the pieces they have to create each character of the LEGO Christmas Nativity Set.

We suggest keeping the final pieces as you go, so you have a full nativity set when done. However, if you do not have a huge stash of LEGOs, you can build each day and then build something different the next day.

DIY LEGO Nativity Advent Calendar

12 Days of Christmas LEGO Challenge

Each day, your child is given a creative challenge. To build a new piece of their DIY LEGO Advent Calendar until they have a complete Nativity. Each piece of the challenge includes Christmas bible verses to tell the story of the birth of Christ.

This 12 Days of Christmas Challenge includes the following.

Day 1: The Stable (Micah 5:2)

Day 2: The Donkey (Luke 2:1-3)

Day 3: Joseph (Luke 2:4)

Day 4: Mary (Luke 2:5)

Day 5: Sheep (Luke 2:8-11)

Day 10: Wiseman 3 (Matthew 2:9-12)

Day 11: Manger (Luke 2:6-7)

Day 12: Jesus (Isaiah 9:6)

Isaiah 9:6 is one of my favorite verses. “For unto us a a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

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.
