Elf on the Shelf Board Game

Product Information

Get out the tape and get to work! Festive Christmas tape puts a delightful twist on this set-up, but any tape will work to pin your elf to the wall (or door) with a homemade sign. 48. Gone fishing! Make some paper chains so that you have a few loops, then leave some extra so it looks like Elf has been caught in the middle of making paper chains! Via Me Becoming Mum 39. Cowboy Elf

Print the funniest human (or animal) body you can find and do a little peek-a-boo elf cutout. If you attempt a human body one day, maybe try an animal later in the month. We love a multipurpose idea! 54. Where is the lie?Hidden in an unexpected spot – Hide your elf in a new spot each day, like inside a coffee cup, under a pillow, or peeking out from a shelf. It turns each morning into a fun game of hide and seek. 15. Stargazing Elf Another simple way to prevent yourself from having to move your Elf on the Shelf day after day is to set the toy up in one convenient spot, but trade out the activity he ‘delivers’ each day. One day, he might bring the book for your read-aloud. Another day, he may bring in a craft for the entire class to complete. Organizing a bookshelf – Have your elf arrange miniature books or your child’s favorite reads on a shelf, acting as a little librarian. This can be a subtle encouragement to read more books. 30. Game Night This next sign might come in handy during December. I know it will in our household. The elf on the shelf clean your room sign is very helpful when you need to remind your child that Santa is watching! It's time for your make-believe crew to bust out their ugliest Christmas apparel. Doll clothes work well, or if you're feeling really inspired, knitting homemade sweaters for the whole party is a possibility. 42. A special breakfast selection.

Set up a scene where your elf is in the process of building a snowman using cotton balls. Arrange the cotton balls to form a small snowman, and you can add tiny accessories like a scrap of fabric for a scarf, a small piece of orange paper for the nose, and beads or buttons for the eyes and mouth. Elf has tipped over the fruit bowl and fruit is scattered all over the kitchen counter. Leave the Elf lounging in the empty fruit bowl as if he’s using it as a bed. 29. Elf goes online Remember, the key to a great Elf on the Shelf experience for toddlers is not in creating an elaborate scene but in the little bit of magic and mischief that makes every morning in December a joy to wake up to. So, let’s dive into these easy and creative elf ideas! Simple Elf Ideas that are Perfect for Toddlers Pop Elf into the biscuit jar or tin and have him just peeking out of the top. Trail a few crumbs around the outside of the jar to show he’s been eating them in the night! 57. Face masks Exploring outer space – Create a space scene with your elf dressed as an astronaut, maybe using foil for a space suit, exploring around a ‘moon’ made from a grey ball or a crumpled piece of paper. 33. Builder ElfThis is another fun one from Madison Hines! Set your Elf up to play Twister! Madison made her own Twister card (so creative), but if you want to make this Elf on the Shelf idea even easier, print a fun twist up game board. Don’t Let the Elf Drive the Bus! You could also – if you don’t mind the mess – squeeze some toothpaste around the sink to make it look like the Elf got carried away when cleaning their teeth. 24.
