Elf Prescription Printables + Digital Downloads

We are back, so is the Elf on the Shelf! If you have been with us a long time, you know we have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily (in the months of November and December) for the past six years. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

Elf on the Shelf Prescription Printable

We have four prescription notices from Santa at the North Pole. You can freeze Elf’s activity for two days. Prescriptions included for reindeer flu, a broken leg (from toys not cleaned up), magic lost from touching, and a blank RX for your own creation. Add you own Elf’s name and date.

Shop Elf Prescription Printable Downloads

What makes these Elf prescriptions great is this gives Elf mom the freedom to sit out for two days… by orders of Santa!

Reasons Elf on the Shelf Didn’t Move

We have a long list of reasons Elf on the Shelf Didn’t move. For our Rx prescriptions, these are the reasons supplied.

Behavioral Warnings:

Broken Leg: No moving for two days. Elf tripped on your stuff. Clean up!

Add a pair of miniature doll crutches to this situation.

Magic Lost: No moving for one day. Don’t touch elf!

If Elf was touched by mistake or even fell, don’t forget our magic elf grippers!

Cute Elf Idea:

Reindeer Flu: Stay put for two days.

Step it up! If you are really creative, use our reindeer costume. Perhaps dressing as as reindeer gives Elf reindeer flu! See our other Elf on the Shelf Reindeer Ideas!

This makes your life easier because it gives your children a warning, provides a creative elf idea, and/or allows all to rest from the anxiety of “where is Elf now” or “what should I do with Elf!?”

You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch Lyrics

If you are wondering where you heard the phrase Stink, Stank, Stunk – quickly look through the You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch Lyrics. It’s the three words that best describe Mr. Grinch.

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart’s an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders, you’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
“Stink, stank, stunk!”

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You’re the king of sinful sots
Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super “naus”!
You’re a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Curious how to introduce a North Pole guest to your family? Details on how to register your Elf on the Shelf and a free Elf  Adoption Certificate printable. New creative, funny, and original Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily.

Elf Certificate of Adoption

Only a few short days until the the turkey is lifted off our dinning room tables and Elf on the Shelf braces our home. Are you ready? Have you done this Christmas Tradition before?

This is our sixth year of Elf on the Shelf. I began this Christmas Family Tradition when my oldest daughter was 4 (but began with the blog when she was 5.)  If you have been with us a long time, you know every day in the month of November and December we give new Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done. For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial.  You also can sign up for all of our Free Elf on the Shelf Printables here including downloading our Elf on the Shelf Certificate of Adoption.

How to Adopt Elf on the Shelf

First, you will need to pick up an official Elf on the Shelf.  This will be the job of the parent.

Once you acquire your elf. Decide when Elf will start coming. You could put out an Elf Door to welcome your elf on Thanksgiving evening or on December 1 (an Elf door is not necessary – he/she might just start showing up!) We have a number of ways to Say Hello to Elf – Arrival ideas for the first night!

Explain the elf rules. The number one rule is Elf on the Shelf cannot be touched. If he/she is touched, Elf looses his elf magic. We have a magic Elf on the Shelf gripper printable if Elf falls!

Elf on the She reports back to Santa who has been naughty or nice. Elf will show up in a new spot each day – typically Elf flies to the North Pole in the night and  is in a new spot in the morning. During this period of time, your home is under Elf Surveillance.

At Christmas Even night, Elf leaves. We let our kids hug Elf. Since Elf is heading back to the North Pole, he can loose some magic with a human hug since he doesn’t’ have a round-trip journey that night. Look at all of our ways Elf on the Shelf Says Good-Bye on the Last Night.

Elf Adoption Certificate

It’s important to create a name for your Elf on the Shelf. We offer some creative ways to name your family elf as well has a list of Fifty Elf on the Shelf Names.

Once your elf is named, of course you family need an Elf Adoption Certificate.  We have the perfect printable for you and it is approved by the the man himself, Santa Claus. It also has the official head workshop Elf stamp of approval too!

Our Elf Certificate of Adoption Reads:

This is to certify that (enter Elf name) has been formally adopted by (enter family name) on this date (enter date).

We think it’s kind of colorful and bright and cute to hang in your home.

Register Elf on the Shelf

After your Certificate of Adoption process with us is complete, you may want to officially Register Elf on the Shelf. Verify your Scout Elf as an official North Pole elf on the Elf on the Shelf Official Elf Registry page. This page is from the creators of The Elf on the Shelf.

During the Elf registration process, you will first choose your Elf outfit color. Red is the official Scout Elf on the Shelf color. Next you will choose what came with your elf. Keepsake boxes come with the official Scout Elf on the Shelf. After your selections, you can enter your Family Name, Scout Elf Name, and Scout Elf Adoption Date.

Upon entering this telling Elf information you will get your own Official Scout Elf Registry documents including a Personalized Adoption Certificate and a Personalized Letter From Santa. This completes the process to register Elf on the Shelf.

Register Elf on the Shelf Pets

Everyone loves their pets and that includes Elf. If you have pets, you can also officially register Elf on the Shelf Pets too. Right now, this adoption process includes the Arctic Fox, St. Bernard, and Reindeer Elf on the Shelf pets.

Elf on the Shelf Costume Ideas

The reason I love our newest costume kit is because it brings forth seven Elf on the Shelf ideas. If you are someone who does Scout Elf for 24 days, that covers almost a third of your days. So many cute ideas for your red elves from Ugly Christmas Sweaters to a pirate costume, and even Elf super hero idea!

Shop Elf Printable Costumes

The Camping Elf Costume: One of my favorite ideas, four props to use for Elf go to camping. From a warm fire pit, a backpack, compass and flash light! Pose with some of your creative Barbie and doll props. Just add rocks to your fire pit!

Staging 3-D Tip: For the campfire (and the reindeer), I created a little perpendicular base by cutting a strip, cutting a tiny slit in the middle of it, cutting a tiny slit in the bottom of the reindeer and the fire cutouts, then fitting the slits together in a perpendicular way. This way I could stand them up and make them more 3D.

Christmas Accessories and Props Costume: Two days to get your elf photo booth ready for Christmas. Nine cute accessories to give your North Pole visitor some sparkly this holiday season. (See above, in the camping props, how we got our reindeer to stand!)

3-D Costume Tip: I found the double sided tape for the face masks to worked pretty well across the forehead of the hat.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Costume: Have an ugly Christmas Sweater? Elf does too. In fact, he/she has two! Everyone get your tacky Christmas sweater came on and celebrate the season. For this Ugly Sweater Costume, we used this My Life As Reversible Background for Use with Dolls, Classroom & Christmas. Adorable for Elf staging ideas. See more of where to buy and Ugly Christmas Sweater for Elf on the Shelf.

Christmas Tree Costume: Of course the Christmas tree looks beautiful in your home. But our red Elf has some competition: Who wore it better?

Elf Super Hero Costume: It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Scout Elf here to save the day! Dress your red elves in two super hero costumes. Perfect for one, two or many North Pole elves.

Elf Pirate Costume: Sail the seven seas looking for some booty. Pirate’s booty. We have the cutest accessories to turn your Scout Elf on the Shelf into a pirate. Enjoy our map and hide 10 candy canes in the house! It makes not only for a cute Elf costume, but also make a fun activity/adventure for your kids.

Costume Elf Props & Supplies

You will need to get these costumes into place.

• The Elf on the Shelf
• Elf Costume Printables and Props
• Craft supplies: scissors, tape, push pins, Velcro, etc.
• Optional: themed accessories – camping, super hero, Christmas, pirate, etc

We wanted to give you a quick glimpse into how to attach many of these costumes. There are three ways. Push pins, keep Elf up higher when using them. Velro. Simple, sticks well to the fabric and peels easy. Tape. My favorite, go-to craft supply solution.

I found the best way hands down to secure the paper to the felt fabric of the Elf was using those sticky Velcro squares (similar to these) sold at most Walmart locations and craft stores. The double sided tape didn’t hold very well and became fuzzy too fast wen attaching props to the fabric. The velcro was pretty sticky the entire time and held stronger, yet was easy to remove and did not shred the fabric upon removal. The squares come as 7/8″ – 1″ squares. I cut into 4 little squares to be smaller on the Elf clothes and hands.

For many of these Costume Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial.

Punny Acute Elf Baby Printable

We did it. We bought a cute Elf baby. In order to justify our purchase, I decided to make some Elf on the Shelf Printables for a Baby Elf. This is the first of three (currently) Elf Baby Printables. It’s a punny acute printable! Get it? This is perfect for a cute baby and a protractor measures an acute angle in math. This will especially be cute for older kids who get the pun for this funny Elf on the Shelf Idea.

Our Elf Baby came with a bottle, rattle and baby doll. I have a feeling the accessories might vary a little with each purchase as this product is found in the handmade section of Amazon.

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.
