Christmas will be here before you know it and you know what that means…excited kids who just can’t wait for the big day. Help them to express their excitement, countdown the days, and maybe even encourage good behavior with a Christmas countdown!

How do you make a Christmas countdown at home?

If you are the parent of a young child, you know the phrase “how many days until…?” A family Christmas countdown can help to really bring the length of time until Christmas home in a tangible way that little kids can see. Plus if you are making your own, they create fun activities in anticipation of Christmas.

There are plenty of ways to create Christmas countdowns…

Most kids know all about Santa and how he’s making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. These adorable Santa countdown ideas give your child a visual of how close December 25th is. They don’t want to end up on the naughty list this close to Christmas, do they?

In addition to the above Christmas Countdown ideas, help your child countdown the days until Christmas with a free Christmas countdown printable!

Christmas Countdown Printable

To help parents are tired of repeating themselves, we put together a blank printable Christmas countdown template. Download and print this printable countdown. You can laminate it so you can daily write down the days until Christmas with a dry erase marker and hang it from the fridge or a common area in the home. If you have a hole punch and string, turn this into holiday decorations and put it on the top of the tree or a fireplace mantel for a fun place to display a countdown.

Instead of lamination, some parents and teachers prefer to slip the Christmas calendar countdown and Santa Claus’s naughty or nice list inside of a picture frame. Since there is not as much room to trim this 8.5 x 11 printable PDF, consider picking up an 8.5 x 11 photo frame so it fits the actual size.

You can still use your dry erase markers to easily write and wipe off numbers and dates from the frames. You might even pick up a special Christmas-themed picture frame at your local dollar store.

How many days until Christmas?

Use this Christmas Clock to keep track of the days until Christmas morning.

This free printable Christmas countdown calendar also helps you to keep track of how many days are left until Christmas. If you change the numbers on the calendar each day you can just say there are only “ #” number of days left until Christmas once a day instead of being asked a million times per day.

Well, that’s the idea anyway…they still might ask. Just hopefully not over and over.

So how should you use this Christmas printable countdown? There are a couple of different ways that you might choose to use it. The final page of this free printable counting down the days to Christmas set is a page with how many days are left until Christmas. Laminate this page, or put it in a clear sheet protector and hang it where the kiddos can see it. Use a dry erase marker and write the correct number of days remaining until Christmas.

Santa’s Naughty and Nice List Printable

As the days until Christmas get closer, we wanted to add another fun Christmas printable. How about something a bit naughty or nice.

The 2nd page of this three page set is Santa’s naughty or nice list. You can print this page for each individual child and track not only if they are on the naughty or nice list, but how many days they have spent on each one. There is a place for them to write their names right at the top of the page so you know who it belongs to. This is something the Scout Elves can deliver closer to Christmas or early in the season.

You can also use this second page with Santa’s naughty list or nice list in a classroom setting or with a Christmas party. Laminate Santa’s official nice list and write each child’s first name on the naughty or nice side according to their behavior in class each day with your dry erase marker. You can of course always move their names from one side to the other if their behavior changes over the course of the day.

If this would bring shame to to your students/child, maybe keep this private and light hearted. The goal is recognizing good favour, good deeds and your good boy and girl with their name written on the good list.

The purpose of an Elf on the Shelf is to spread joy, bring cheer, and remind boys girls to be nice. However, children are human and sometimes bad behavior occurs. It’s important to have an Elf resource that can pat your child on the back for the good and remind your child to try harder during the bad.

Let’s take a look at the point of the Elf on the Shelf, how to encourage good behavior and ideas for what to do when your child has bad behavior.

What’s the point of Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition. Elf on Shelf is a children’s book written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell. The Elf on the Shelf book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. Elves from the North Pole visit families to encourage good behavior and report back to Santa. Santa uses this messages to help create his naughty and nice list before Christmas day.

According to Businesswire, the Elf on the Shelf’s company mission statement reads

Ultimately, CCA and B is faithful to their mission of “tapping into the magic of believing and love of tradition at Christmastime by creating Christmas characters, stories and lore through consumer products, immersive experiences and entertainment-based content.”

In the spirit of the Elf tradition, The goal is to encourage good behavior. This positive Christmas character’s purpose is not to bring shame or anxiety to young children but rather to remind them that this season is about good deeds and acts of kindness toward others. Read more about Elf on the Shelf Meaning Explained.

Does Elf really encourage kids good behavior?

Yes, use Elf help as a fun way to encourage boys and girls to be nice. The holiday season can be overwhelming for many younger children. There are parties, activities and many additional distractions. Elf brings a good visual that visits in a fun and friendly way. Through friendly Elf ideas and behavior notes, Elf can remind your child to work on their best behavior.

It’s important to have good Elf on the Shelf ideas when bad behavior is present. This is not to shame your children or to make them feel badly. Rather your Christmas Elf can be used to encourage your child to continue good work or stop bad work.

What are some Elf on the Shelf Bad Behavior Ideas?

Since your Elf is reporting back to Santa, elf can watch for good behavior during the holiday season. From December 1st until Christmas Day, the Elf will (of course) arrive with fun antics. Also during that time, the Elf will be ready to report to Santa good and bad behavior in their host family.

Your child is imperfect. You didn’t need to read this sentence to know that. Using the Elf as a threat for punishment (e.g., no presents) may be fear-inducing and contrary to the goal of using the Elf to bring joy. Because of this, it’s important to have a list of encouraging Elf on the Shelf ideas for bad behavior.

Elf brings a Strike Sign
Have has a prescription to sit out
Elf delivers a behavior note from Santa
Elf write a letter about behavior
Elf uses a behavior chart to encourage good behavior
Elf uses a report card to encourage your child

Elf on the Shelf on Strike

One silly Elf idea for bad behavior is picketing with printable Elf on Strike Signs. This still keeps your Elf in the home but rather he/she can sit in one spot on strike until your child does as they say. Hopefully these Elf on Strike ideas are less manipulative and more intrinsically encouraging.

Elf on Strike: No Talking Back
Elf on Strike: Clean Your Room
Elf on Strike: Get Along with Siblings
Elf on Strike: Listen to Your Parents
Elf on Strike: Be Good At School

For these Elf strike signs, you decide how long Elf is picketing.

Elf on the Shelf Prescription Notes

The North Pole doctors are always paying close attention to their elves. This includes the results of poor health due to bad behavior. In this bad behavior idea, the elf will be delivered with an Elf on the Shelf prescription for sitting out. These Elf on the Shelf notes from the doctor include prescriptions for a messy room or for touching the Elf.

Magic Lost: No moving for one day. Do not touch the Elf!
Broken Leg: No moving for two days. Elf tripped on your stuff. Clean up!

Elf on the Shelf Behavior Note

Keep it simple with an official behavior note form Elf on a Shelf. Check naughty or nice and write your own message of what the Elf saw. These are easy, direct and straight to the point.

In this example, Elf checked naughty and whitnessed the child “not sharing your toys.”

Elf on the Shelf Behavior Letter

The best thing about a printable Elf on the Shelf bad behavior letter is you can personalize the message. Use our Elf letter templates and write you own message. This allows you to address your child’s bad behavior (or good behavior) and encourage them to do their best.

In this bad behavior letter example, you can leave the Scout Elf out of the equation. Have Elf on the Shelf not arrive for the night. The next morning they would leave an envelope with a letter from Santa (or the head Elf) behind.

For an Elf on the Shelf Good behavior letter, write a message that offers encouragement or intrinsic motivation. Write your child’s name and then say something to the effect of “I see you doing _____, keep up the good work!” Sign with your elf’s name. You could even leave behind a small present, prize or piece of candy.

Elf on the Shelf Behavior Chart

If it will take some time to work on poor behavior, incorporate this free printable Elf on the Shelf behavior chart. Use this candy cane cheer-o-meter to track daily behavior all the way from extra nice to naughty.

Extra Nice: Santa knows you’ve been kind. He will bring you everything on your mind.
Nice: You’ve been good this year, Santa’s sure to bring Christmas cheer.
Danger Zone: He’s making a list and checking it twice, he knows if you’ve been naughty or nice.
Naughty: Start on a good roll or you’ll get coal.

This behavior chart can be hung in a common space like the kitchen or paly room. you can also keep it in each child’s bedroom for personal accountability.

Elf on the Shelf Report Card

Does your child have real anxiety? Use these printable report cards to encourage kids’ behavior in a fun lighthearted way! This set of report cards includes both good, bad and silly behavior traits. That means this can easily be a funny Elf on the Shelf idea too.

Supplies

The Elf on the Shelf Doll
Printer paper or card stock
Printer
Elf on the Shelf Report Card Digital Download (see below)

These report cards can be printed form your home computer. Use computer paper or white cardstock.

How to Use the Elf on the Shelf Report Card

It’s really easy to create the report card Elf on the Shelf idea. Simply download the reports cards which come in a few behavior report ideas…

Good Report
Bad Report
Silly Report

Once you download the behavior reports, print them from your computer (or visit Staples Copy Center.) Cut out the four reports and choose which is most fitting for your child.

Complete the report card with the child’s name, the date, and checks for the appropriate report. You can even add a small note. You can even make a report card for each child.

Stage the Elf to hold the report card for your child to view in the morning.

Viola! The message is clear.

Can I use the report cards for good behavior?

Yes (yes and yes!) These printable Elf on the Shelf reports also have ideas for good behavior. These Elf on the Shelf behavior letters are perfect for good kids too! In fact, we can recognize the good in everyone! While it’s important as parents (and members of the Elf moving committee) to correct bad behavior, it’s also very important for us to recognize and share reflections of good behavior. Use this printable report card to recognize things like being “amazing in school” or “looking swaggah” (may favorite!)

Printable Elf on the Shelf Report Cards

These four Elf report cards come with a list of different silly, good and bad reports. There is room to write the child’s name and the date. There is also room to fill in and other row with encouragement or a behavior that you are unable to check.

Did you know the North Pole is rather cold? I know, I know. Obvious question. However, while many understand the North Pole is rather cold, they don’t always recognize that elves love the sun. Visiting their host family during the holiday season is a great time to de-thaw, take an elf beach vacation, or pull out the fake and bake.

If you are looking to give your Elf beach props, consider this funny s-ELF tanning kit. Add a desk lamp and some sun shades (Barbie sunglasses are great for this) and you are all set to complete this quick and easy idea for Elf.

Punny Elf Self Tanning Kit

No, we didn’t misspell funny. This cheeky elf idea is rather punny and plays on the phrase self-tanning kit. Instead of tanning spray, we use Cheese Whiz and cheese balls for the best orange tan ever!

Pun: a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

Supplies

Who doesn’t love a few holiday elf props you can eat later? If you’re a faux cheese eater (wink – wink), this adorable idea is for you. Gather the following supplies for your witty visitor.

An Elf
Towel
Beach Props
Cheese Balls (we use Utz Cheese Balls)
Canned Cheese Spray (we used Kraft Easy Cheese)
Self-Tanning Kit Printable Set (see below)
Printer paper
Printer
Scissors
Tape or Glue

Directions

It’s time to pull this Hilarious Idea into motion. First, you will need to download your funny Self Tanning Kit printable.

Once you complete your purchase and download your PDF file, print it from your home computer or (print at Staples.) For reference, I printed mine from my home computer and they still gave me though bright, eye-catching pops of color.

Next, cut out your labels. Use a glue stick or double-sided tape to attach the labels to your canned cheese spray and container of cheese balls. I actually wrapped the labels around both cheese products and tabled them on the back side of the item.

Stage your Elf in a fun relaxing position on a beach towel.

Extend this Funny Elf Idea

You can always go a step further than we did with this fun idea. Using the tanning kit, incorporate some of these other easy and fun holiday elf ideas.

Are you going on vacation? Elf can travel with you. Maybe he can bring a fun beach basket filled with things for the trip.
Use this idea with our fun beach backdrop for Elf. You can add sandbox sand and some shells for a fun scene.
Put Elf under a heat lamp, like a tanning bed. This can be done with a desk lamp.
Add some Barbie and Ken Beach Clothes for Elf props. I used a surf vest from my 1980s Barbie accessories.

What are some other orange foods I can use?

Of course, if cheese in a can or small snowballs of cheese are not your thing, try some of these other orange foods to pull off your funny Elf idea. You will need to get clever for how you use the s-ELF tanning kit labels on these items, but it’s still doable.

Orange foods include…

Pumpkin
Oranges
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Cantaloupes
Mangos
Peaches
Cheese Chips

Every December 25, Christmas is celebrated. This holiday is annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. In addition to the birth of Christ, there are some commercial events around the holiday including the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas morning. Saint Nicolas comes and drops off gifts and presents for those boys and girls found on the nice list. In order to help Santa create his nice list, an Elf on the Shelf arrives early in the season. The elf goes back to the North Pole every evening telling Santa who has been naughty or nice.

Are you anticipating the arrival of the Elf on the Shelf? If you can’t wait to welcome a little red guy in your home, it is important to know when the Elf on the Shelf arrives and how long the Elf stays.

What are the dates for Elf on the Shelf?

The Elf on the Shelf arrives on Thanksgiving or shortly after. In some cases, a home might not get a little red Elf until December 1st. In other houses, the Elf on the Shelf might only arrive a few weeks before Christmas. Each home is different and if your child is asking “where is my Elf on the Shelf” explain to them that sometimes there is a very long line of elves trying to leave North Pole Customs and Border Protection.

If you have more dying Elf on the Shelf questions, make sure you read them all including when does Elf on the Shelf leave and can the Elf on the Shelf be touched? To guide your children into following Santa’s rules for Elf, download this free printable Elf on the Shelf rules.

Does Dollar Tree Have Elf on the Shelf?

No. The Dollar Tree does not carry Elf on the Shelf. The official Elf on the Shelf Doll is found at many major retailers including Amazon, Target and Walmart locations. It’s important to notes that the Scout Elf Doll comes with an Elf on the Shelf book. This is a set. The doll will have a red body, red hat and white collar. Any different colors you find like purple, green, orange, camo, or leopard are knock-off versions.

A few years ago, Dollar General acquired elves called Elf Mates. This was not the official Scout Elf brand however CC&B LLC (the Elf on the Shelf parent company) did purchase these elves and now sell them too. They are considered friendly Elf workshop helpers and not the little red guy that comes to your home each day.

Hobby Lobby created cheap elf dolls in gray and snowflake patterns in late Fall of 2021 but they were pull from the shelves for being very similar in style to to the trademarked Elf on a Shelf.

DIY Elf on the Shelf Countdown to Christmas

As little kids we squirm until Christmas morning. There is something about the magic and excitement of the holiday season that has everyone anxious for the climax – Christmas Day! If your child is so ready for a visit form St. Nick himself, countdown the days until Santa’s arrival with this easy to make DIY Christmas Calendar.

Not only does it keep the excitement alive until Christmas but for younger children it gives a visual of how far away Christmas really is.

Supplies

Before you begin your Elf on the Shelf countdown calendar, you will need a few simple supplies. Some of these supplies you will have on hand, others you might need to purchase at the Dollar Store or your local craft store. We picked up our mini chalkboard at the Dollar Tree making this Christmas craft very affordable!

The Elf on the Shelf Doll
Mini chalkboard (we got ours from the Dollar Tree)
Red paint
Paint brush
Red vinyl
Transfer tape
Cricut Vinyl Cutter
Chalk
Optional: Countdown to Christmas SVG file (find in Free Elf on the Shelf printables)

Don’t have a Cricut Explorer? No problem, this sign can still be made and used without the red vinyl countdown.

How to make an Elf on the Shelf Countdown Calendar

First pickup an wooden calendar board from the Dollar Tree or your local craft store. (You can find similar chalk boards here, here, here, here and here.)

Paint the frame of the chalkboard red and allow the paint to dry completely.

Upload the SVG into Design Space and resize to fit your chalk board, if needed.

Weld all the letters together and hit the green Make It button.

Place the red vinyl on the cutting mat and load it into the Cricut.

Set the dial on the machine to vinyl and cut the design.

Weed out the excess vinyl and place a piece of transfer tape on top.

Transfer the vinyl design to the bottom of the chalkboard.

Use the Dollar Tree Christmas Chalkboard Sign to countdown the number of days until Christmas with your Elf on a Shelf.

November 1, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Baby, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Kids, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Enjoy this fun 4-in-1 printable scavenger hunt bundle. These baby shower games include 20 scavenger hunt clues and riddles for solving. Reveal a baby’s gender, a baby’s name or uncover prizes and baby shower party favors. In addition, play a quick and easy what’s in your purse baby shower game.

Do you have a baby shower or gender reveal party coming up? If so, you likely are looking for activities for the guest of honor and all her shower guests. Typically a stork party is a place where moms have slipped away from the home leaving behind cares and worries. They are ready to mingle with friends and celebrate the expectant mother.

Because of the relaxed carefree atmosphere, baby shower games are a great way to create laughter, teamwork and leave behind a trail of fun memories. These can come in all shapes or forms including fun activities like The Price is Right, What’s In your Purse and even a fun treasure hunt.

If you want to have baby shower games that all of the attendees but especially the mom-to-be will love, then you might really enjoy this baby shower scavenger hunt!

How to Use Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

This baby shower scavenger hunt is perfect for a baby shower that is being held in someone’s home. If you will not be within a home, you could also set it up at a venue with a little bit of creativity. You will simply need to “stage” the venue with appropriate areas, for example, baby outfits hanging on a rack to represent the “closet”or a baby tub (that you can gift the mom-to-be) for the bathroom or bathtub.

The baby items around the venue area will act like a home. Player can then zoom through the area trying to solve the list of baby rhymes.

Fun Baby Themed Riddles

This scavenger hunt has a set of 20 rhyming clues that are meant to help your shower guests find the next clue. Examples of some of the baby inspired riddles are “ Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes. Go to where the baby will put their folded clothes”, and “Rub-a-dub-dub, oh what a delight. Go where the baby will be bathed each and every night”.

Other rhyming clues include “ The next clue you look for is presently hiding where the baby will spend a lot of time riding” (aka car seat) and “Baby will get lots of lovin, the end of the hunt is revealed baking in the oven.” Stumped? Don’t worry, answers are given with the printable set – plus you want to make this challenging so it becomes a real competition.

How to Play a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

To paly this baby shower scavenger hunt, print all 20 scavenger hunt clues. Next cut the nursery rhymes out. Decide what clues are best for you to use for your party location and scavenger hunt purpose – for example, if you are not revealing the gender, take out the clues that say its a boy or girl.

Once you have chosen the right cards, hide the clue cards in the appropriate spot. Make sure to save the first card to start the game! If you are going to have the guests play this game in teams, make sure to print off two of the starting cards! You can then create a time limit and see who completes the hunt the fastest.

You could also use this scavenger hunt to reveal the little one’s name, just leave a single letter where each clue is found. You can also leave small prizes like candy or candles for each guest to take one, or have a larger prize for the winner of the scavenger hunt!

How to Use a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

This baby scavenger hunt is perfect for all mommys and daddys. It’s a four in one set, that means it has many purposes.

Fun ideas for how to use this cute treasure hunt include…

Prizes & Party Favors: Have guests find prizes or baby shower party favors
Reveal the Name of Baby: Leave a letter of the name with each clue then unscramble the letters to solve the name reveal.
Gender Reveal: This can also be done for a baby’s gender reveal. Of the set of scavenger hunt riddles, two included clues reveal “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!”

Variations to this scavenger hunt include revealing the gender of the baby at the end! There is a card that says “We’re over the moon, this is such a thrill! We are delighted to say “It’s a girl””, and “We’re over the moon, and overcome with joy. We are delighted to say that it’s a boy!” respectively.

There also in an additional purse scavenger hunt game – this means guests enver have to leave their seat!

What’s in your Purse?

While you are waiting for all of your baby shower guests to arrive there is another type of scavenger hunt that you can play. There is a printable baby shower scavenger hunt game that involves the items you might find in your purse. Give each guest a copy of the “what’s in your purse?” baby shower scavenger hunt and a pen, whoever has the most points at the end will win a prize.

Items that are commonly found in your purse such as keys, credit cards, tissues, pens, checkbooks, and rewards cards are only worth a single point per item. Mints, hairbrushes, toys, bandaids, sunglasses, and hand lotion are worth two points each.

Items that are a little less common are worth more points. You can receive five points per item for a paper grocery list, receipt, cash, a phone charger, or a tape measure. For ten points per item, your guests can look for a paperclip, a utensil, a passport, underwear, or a picture of the mom-to-be!

This is a fun game, and you never know what oddities someone might have in their purse! Maybe even have a prize for the most unusual item found in one’s purse – we all know we’ve had some strange things, ladies.
