Elf On The Shelf Ideas #2

Last year, I introduced some Elf On The Shelf Ideas in version #1 and I’m back again with Elf On The Shelf Ideas #2. I hope these help keep the magic alive for your little one(s).

Written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, with illustrations by Coë Steinwart, the story of Elf On The Shelf is a very American concept.

The story tells children how Santa sends “scout elves” to hide in their homes. To watch over and see if they are being good. Once everyone is asleep the scout elf flies back to the North Pole. They report to Santa all the good and bad things that have happened throughout the day. The elf then flies back to the house before morning and hides in a different place each time. Sometimes the elf can be quite mischievous.

As you can see, a lot of these were put together with items you can find around the house. And they are quick to do whilst being easy to tidy up! Which is always a bonus.

Some of the accessories like the letters, the washing line and elf mail were from The Works. I know many stores like Poundland and The Range will stock similar items. I will say, if you decide to do the plaster one, don’t use fabric plasters. They were a little hard to peel off without pulling on the elf’s materials and creating threads.

And that is Elf On The Shelf Ideas #2. I know it can be difficult to think of so many ideas, so I hope these help.

I’d love to know if you recreate them. You can tag me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.

As always, thanks for reading…
