Elf on the Shelf Ideas that are fun and easy

Fun and easy Elf on the Shelf ideas? Yes, please! Time to have fun with our favorite Elf that flies in every season.  This is our first year with Elf on the shelf and its been a blast.

I wasn’t sure if I would be killin’ it or be waking up in the middle of the night in a panic. Haha. Well needless to say, I wasn’t going to let a Santa’s little helper stress me out. 

Us moms have enough to worry about at Christmas and I am over the idea of stress at the Holidays.

Here’s some fun and easy Elf on the Shelf ideas. Try one, try them all, just have fun! And remember it’s “Elf on a Shelf,” not every night has to be epic.

Some nights our Elf just moves from shelf to shelf… but some nights I’m killllin’ it 🙂

LOL Dolls are so fun. There, I said it. I really enjoy them and kids LOVE them.

They are packed with little surprises that are fun for most ages. Libby is three, and while still a little young,  she loves them. 

Whether they turn colors in water, cry or “tinkle,” the fun is in unwrapping them and finding out. The opening process becomes as much an experience as the little toys inside. So, why not have Elf bring back a special friend from the north pole?

Last year we started a December 1st Christmas box tradition. This year we turned it into an Elf on the Shelf Arrival tradition. It’s nice to see the kids in cute Christmas jammies all December long.
