Black Elf on the Shelf Doll
Is there a Black Elf on the Shelf?
If you are looking for a Black Elf on the Shelf doll, you are in luck! Yes, there are diverse Elf on the Shelf dolls. In fact, as CCA & B company has grown, there are now different colored Elf on the Shelf dolls and different genders. As someone who actually has one of the original Elf on the Shelf dolls, I have seen how the doll has changed and new dolls have been introduced. It has been nice to see the evolution of time and inclusion of all genders and ethnic groups.
It is important to know, however, that all official Scout Elves (of all colors and genders) do have a red outfit and white collar. Any colored Elf on the Shelf dolls including purple elf, blue elf, leopard elf, pink elf, camo Elf on the Shelf, and black & white Elf on the Shelf dolls are off brands. You also can not buy a a brown Elf on the Shelf doll only, you will need to get an Elf doll with the Elf on the Shelf Book.
Where can I get a Black Elf on the Shelf?
There are many places to pick up an African American Elf on the Shelf doll.

Black Elf on the Shelf Near Me
Another good place to find a black Elf on the Shelf is with shopping locally. On Small Business Friday, the day after Black Friday, consider shopping at mom and pop bookstores near you.
Also specialty stores and boutiques have been known to have Elf on the Shelf kits. Sometimes these Elf sets are available longer than your big box stores and large online retailers. Some boutique stores have had Elf on the Shelf doll only (which is never the original Scout Elf, as Scout Elves comes with a Elf on the Shelf book.)
When is the best time to buy an Elf on the Shelf?
Elf on the Shelf dolls sell out fast when the Christmas season is here. Buy off season and continue to check in if you do not see the Black Elf on the Shelf sale you want. The Elf on the Shelf set includes a book and doll. You can buy some sets with accessories.
Elf on the Shelf boxes will rarely, if all, be discounted below $24. You mainly will find brown Elf on the Shelf sets closer to $30. Do not wait until after Thanksgiving, or you likely will not find the Elf doll you want.

The dark skinned Elf on the Shelf dolls can be used with any family. We have close friends from India, that have used this as an Indian Elf on the Shelf doll.

What is Elf on the Shelf?
Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. 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. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD
