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.

Free Elf on the Shelf Notes

This year I have teamed up with The Elf Guru to bring you 10 Free Elf on the Shelf Notes. A few you can personalize to the number of days left until Christmas, behavior, or write anything you want! We also provide notes that inspire your Elf on the Shelf Idea giving you an easier night!

Snowman Joke for Elf Note

“What did one snowman say to the other snowman?” Hey, do you smell carrots?

Add carrots and snowmen for this Elf on the Shelf Joke Note. This one made us laugh – plus it’s an easy Elf on the Shelf Idea.

Behavior Warning for Elf Note

“I saw that! C’mon, you can be WAY nicer than that! When we Elves start to get rowdy and misbehave we just… Keep calm and drink Cocoa”

For the child that stood out the day before, have Elf give a warning. I saw that!

“Niceness Alert: ___________”

When a child need a warning or need to be rewarded for good behavior, use this niceness alert Elf on the Shelf Idea. You could also load a bunch of Hershey kisses (or another candy) as a reward for a child that is high on the niceness meter.

Personalized Elf Note

“Yippee! Hooray! Santa comes in only _____ days!”

Mom, this is easy! You can do it. When you need a night off, use this countdown idea. For the mom that wants to go an extra step, you can countdown with toilet paper like this Elf on the Shelf Countdown Idea.

Singing Elf Note

“Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Elves Love to sing! C’mon, let’s sing some fun holiday songs!”

For this Elf on the Shelf Idea, put Elf by a microphone, guitar, drum or something else. You could even use our Elf on the Shelf Soup Can Drum Set Idea. We used our Barbie guitar. I find Barbie accessories so helpful for elf!

… and so many more printables and ideas!
