If you’ve never heard of Elf on the Shelf you have been missing out on some absolute fun for your whole family. Elf on the Shelf is a children’s book written and illustrated by Coë Stienwart. “The book tells a Christmas-themed story, written in rhyme, that explains how Santa Claus knows who is naughty and who is nice, and describes elves visiting children between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, after which they return to the North Pole until the next holiday season.”* Families across the world have taken to having their own Elf who often causes Holiday mischief. We have brought you our own Elf on the Shelf ideas to occupy your little one all month long.

Writer, mother, travelista. Experiencing life one day at a time.
having a calendar is such a great idea! We have an Elf – but I gave up on trying to find funny things to do with him every single day. Now I just do one fun thing per week – and I find that it’s just enough to keep my daughter’s attention!
This is a great way to keep the ideas for every day! I don’t know how you guys do it, lots of work!
Okay, that explains how that whole elf on a shelf thing started. I think it’s silly. But, I don’t have young children at home.
