Elf on the shelf

Anyone’s elves returning this year
Do you have ideas planned for them yet?

We will be having ours return I think this is year 6 of them but the kids love it so it’s worth the extra hassle in December.

We have an elf and we like doing things like having the elf eat chocolate, the skittles experiment, drawing faces on bananas and eggs, having a picnic with teddies etc

 

[motherofboys]

Ours will be, last year was our first year. So far I've got a few bits that he will bring on random days (like cheap activity books from home bargains) but no plans for the other days

 

[leoniebabey]

I love thinking up ideas but I hate that mad dash downstairs when you have forgotten haha to move them haha!
We will have to post in here what they get up to when they arrive

 

[motherofboys]

Good idea, we can take inspiration from each other then.

We have two one each a girl and a boy one I normally have to sneak them out of the respective childs bed to then set up doing something - need to start looking up ideas :hmm:

 

[sequeena]

I'll be attempting this again. Willing to do anything to have a magical Christmas.

Ours has already been here! She's came for a visit. She'll be back in December but I don't have anything planned yet.

 

[Bevziibubble]

[motherofboys]

A mask is a good idea!
I got some Christmas theme hand sanitizers and they will bring those on the 1st dec as a jokey type thing

Ours will visit. The girls have already been talking about them.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Masks sound fun for the elves!

 

[Buttercup84]

Ours will be returning, much as I'm not a fan the kids absolutely love them and mention them all year round lol! Feel like I'm running out of ideas though...

 

[Mum21boy1girl]

I didn’t find any masks today in Target, they didn’t have any Christmas stuff out yet, I guess I’m too early lol I will try again in a week or two!

We have the proper Elves this year ! DDs never liked them so we used some stuff toy elves but last year DD1 wrote to Santa and asked for the proper ones ! Luckily I seen them in Tesco reduced after Xmas so got myself a bargain !

My youngest is terrified of the ‘proper’ elves for some reason so we have the stuffed ones.
Great that you found a bargain for them! We have elfie (boy) and holly jolly (girl)
