Save the first clue to give it to the scavenger hunt player.

Get into the holiday spirit! One great idea is to make this Scavenger Hunt a Christmas Tradition and leave at the end of the hunt a Christmas Eve Gift with a sweet note from your Elf saying good-bye or how wonderful their “nice” behavior has been.

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a Scout Elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme shares the purpose of the Elf’s visits looking for boys and girls that are naughty and nice. Each Thanksgiving, your frailly elf returns until Christmas Even. Scout Elf returns from the North Pole each evening and can be found in a new Elf location in the house in the money. It is important, the Elf is not touched each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

When all LEGO figures have been completed, read the full story of Christmas found in Matthew 1:18 -2:12: Luke 2:1-20.

For the LEGO printables, step-by-step nativity figure instructions are not included. Rather your child is given a a list of what to make each day. Let your child get creative with the pieces they have to create each character of the LEGO Christmas Nativity Set.

We suggest keeping the final pieces as you go, so you have a full nativity set when done. However, if you do not have a huge stash of LEGOs, you can build each day and then build something different the next day.
