Elf on the Shelf Ideas

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR, AGAIN!

Time for parents to dig out the Elf on the Shelf and try to gather enough inspiration for a new and creative idea every single day of December. I am one of those parents and I know the struggle when your creative juices just aren’t flowing. I usually begin scouring Pinterest weeks before to get some ideas on how to keep the kids entertained without repeating the same thing too many times, but honestly I think it’s just the surprise of finding him every morning that makes it so fun for them. In case you’re looking for some new elf moves or are just completely brain blocked on where to even start, I’ve created a Pinterest board for you complete with our favorites from the last few years and some ideas that impressed me while scrolling through pins. You can find that board HERE.

ELF TIP: One of the best parts of getting the elf is being able to name it! We named ours Lola and love hearing what others choose to name theirs!

One of the best parts of Elf on the Shelf (for me, anyway!) is finding miniature props to assist me in my elf set-ups. Over the years, I’ve found that both Michaels and Etsy have some of the cutest and most unique pieces — plus they ship right to your door! Below you can shop some of my favorites, but definitely head to the website and browse for yourself. There’s so much good stuff to see! (..and yes, they have many other team sweaters available).

I hope this helps make the holiday season and your Elf game a bit easier, but also more fun for the kids. That is who it’s for, afterall! If you have any creative ideas that I didn’t mention, please comment below and share so that other readers can take note of them, too!

Much Love,
