All your Elf on the Shelf Ideas

All your Elf of the Shelf Ideas!

3 years ago Buttons came into our lives. For those of you who don’t know about the tradition of the Elf on the Shelf, go here to get educated! I will post our daily Elf on the Shelf pictures here for you to get some ideas! Some of these we have come up ourselves, other from speaking with friends, and a lot of them from my Elf on the Shelf Pinterest Board.

My biggest piece of advice is that if you are going to start Elf on the Shelf, then for the first year at least, make it a hide and seek game. The children wake up every morning and try to find where the elf is hiding. If you start with creative and funny antics, then you have to keep them up.

After 3 years, this can be hard, and the kids are disappointed if it’s not funny enough. Don’t set the bar too high too soon!
