Elf on the Shelf

Only a couple more nights until Christmas which means you only have to find a couple more locations for your Elf on the Shelf. By this late in the Christmas game, I'm sure that you, just like myself,  have found yourself standing in the middle of your house, elf in hand, searching desperately for a place to put it. Well, I have decided to share all the locations I have put my elf into one handy post in the hopes that together we can get through those last couple nights of elf brain freeze.

1. I'm Back

    This handy location was perfect for when our elf reappeared. But it can be used as a going away as well. Simply position your elf on the window and write on the window with the dry-erase marker.

2. Mistletoe Mischeif 

3. Trim the Tree

     Our Elf brought a special gift from Santa as a reward for good behavior. 

4. Hanging Around for Movie Time

5. Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

6. Riding a Reindeer

    Don't forget to use other Christmas decorations in your elf's adventures! 

7. Video Game Downtime 

8. Tea for Three

9. Fishing Fun

10. The Reason for the Season

      Even an elf can bring the focus back to Jesus.

11. Mouse Chase

12. Snowflake Craft

13. Self Portrait

14. Picture Perfect

15. Bat-Elf

16. Candy Land with Friends

17. Gingerbread Village Fun

      Our elf brought magic "seeds" to plant in our gingerbread garden (bowl of sugar) and we planted them and found they grew into candy canes. 

18. Bathroom Decoration

19. Hanging in There

20. Having S'more Fun 

21. Christmas Cookies

22. Stocking around the Christmas Tree

23. Story Time

Well, there you have it! 23. ideas for your elf that aren't really messy or crazy. Even the more elaborate scenes only took a few minutes to put together. 

Merry Christmas!
