Hard elf on the shelf hiding spot ideas

Sometimes it happens. You The Elf comes up with a hard Elf on the Shelf hiding spot. Often a spot that seemed so obvious can become quite frustrating when your children are scrambling around the house before school trying to find “Where is the Elf on the Shelf?”

Hard Elf on the Shelf Hiding Spots

The Elf on the Shelf might be in a hard hiding space on purpose or by accident. Either way it’s important to meet your child in their challenges when they are struggling to find that darn little red guy.

If this hiding spot was done on purpose, Moms and Dads can consider adding clues leading to the funny Elf doll.  This can be tiny footprints, a row of gump drops, or even pieces of red thread along the ground. This gives your child a few hints.

If this Elf prank was not done on purpose, find the Elf instead of your child. This could be something like accidently sitting on the spot the elf was hidden or pretending you are going to retrieve something and all of a sudden you “found” the Elf on a Shelf. You can also consider helping your child with excuses and answers why the Elf didn’t come back. For example, the North Pole customs line might have been too long to return last night. If you did not help your child find their Elf before venturing off to school, when they are gone add a not to the front door or kitchen counter top giving a bit of a clue where the little Elf might be!

The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf.
