The holiday season is a magical time for families, filled with traditions that create lasting memories. One such tradition that has gained immense popularity is a family elf. This mischievous little elf comes to life during the Christmas season, engaging in all sorts of playful antics while keeping an eye on the children’s behavior. This year, some creative parents have taken The holiday tradition to a whole new level by incorporating a game of hide-and-seek using SOLO plastic cups.

The Cup Game: Adding a Twist to the Hiding The Elf on the Shelf Tradition

Ironically, every morning The Elf on the Shelf is hiding. Why not turn the hiding into a fun game? Fill up a Red SOLO cup with your family elf.. let’s explain! Parents are always on the lookout for ways to make The Elf on the Shelf experience even more exciting for their little ones. One innovative idea that has captured the imagination of many is setting up a game where a bunch of SOLO plastic cups is arranged in a grid, each cup placed face down on the ground. Under one of these cups is the silly Scout Elf, waiting to be discovered.

Supplies

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock)
  • Pen, Pencil, or Marker
  • Red SOLO Cups

The Setup

To start this enchanting adventure, parents set up the plastic cups in a designated area of the house. The cups are arranged in either a grid or random formation, creating an element of mystery as children try to figure out which cup is concealing the elusive elf. The cups are placed upside down, creating a uniform surface that adds an extra layer of challenge to the game.

The Note

To kick off the excitement, a carefully crafted note is left alongside the cups. The note encourages the children to embark on a quest to find the hiding elf. It might read something like this:

“Dear [Child’s Name],

‘Tis the season of merriment and joy. I have decided to play a game of hide-and-seek with you! Under one of these cups, I’m snug as a bug, waiting for you to find me. Will you accept the challenge? Lift each cup with care, and let the magic of the season guide you to where I hide.

Best of luck, and may the cups be ever in your favor!

Yours mischievously,
[Elf’s Name]”

The Joy of Discovery

The beauty of this idea lies in the joy of discovery. Children, with eyes wide with anticipation, lift each cup one by one, their excitement growing with each reveal. The element of surprise and the uncertainty of where the North Pole visitor might be hiding adds an extra layer of magic to the holiday season.

Tips: The little red guy hiding under a cup idea might put the Scout Elf in a compromising place. If you have a family pet, display this idea on a large table. If you don’t have a pet that will pick up the North Pole visitor, do this idea to the side of the room where the famly elf cannot get walked on. Remember, it is not okay to touch the Scout Elf. You can use Magic Grippers to move him.

As parents, it’s always a delight to witness the sheer joy and wonder in our children’s eyes during the holiday season. A Christmas Elf tradition, combined with the creativity of setting up a hide-and-seek game with SOLO plastic cups, adds a unique and memorable touch to the festivities. This simple yet enchanting idea transforms an already beloved tradition into an adventure that the whole family can enjoy together, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

The holiday season is upon us, and that mischievous little elf is back to bring joy and laughter to households around the world. If you’re looking for a whimsical and uproarious way to kick off the holiday spirit, we’ve got the perfect idea for you: “Honk if You Love Elves.”

Imagine the surprise and amusement on the faces of your family and fellow commuters when they spot your North Pole friend taking a joyride in the family car, surrounded by signs declaring, “Honk if you love elves.” This quirky and delightful elf prank is sure to turn mundane car rides into memorable adventures. To make it even easier for parents, we’ve created printable signs that you can download and use for this elf escapade.

Tip: It’s important to make sure your teen is in the car for the adventure. Be sure to drop them off at middle school on that day! I kid, I kid – sorta.

Honk if You Love Elves: A Hilarious Car Adventure

For this embarrassing antic, you are going to need a few props and a very creative mind (don’t worry, we will help you with both!” Buckle up and get ready for a journey filled with laughter and festive fun.

elf on the shelf prank printable sign honk if you love elves

Supplies

  • North Pole Elf
  • Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your printables)
  • Scissors
  •  Tape
  • Printer (Low-cost pick)
  • Honk If You Love Elves Printable Sign
  • A car (preferably your own – wink!)

It’s pretty easy to pull off this prank. The hardest part will be your children trying to find the hiding spot.

Setting the Prank:

To execute this funny idea, start by buckling your little red guy into the car. Find an extra seat the the car. This elf is ready to roll. If you lack extra seats, secure him to the rearview mirror or the front dashboard. To add an extra touch of magic, consider decorating the car with Christmas car props like a car reindeer, festive garland, a lot of balloons, and if you are quite brave – glitter! (We won’t blame you if you skip the messy glitter.)

Download our specially designed “Honk if You Love Elves” signs and print them out. These signs are adorned with a festive heart and bold letters that are bound to catch the attention of anyone nearby.  Once printed, it’s time to place the signs on the car windows,

Hang your Honk If You Love Elves signs in on the windows ensuring they’re visible from all angles.. These printable props come in two sizes. Elf-sized and Human Sized. Mix it up and use a lot of signs. In fact, the louder you all with your sign placement the more embarrassing the car ride. Just make sure you don’t have too many signs in blind spots. Also, leave a clear opening by the window where your teen sits. You don’t want to block their face for this car ride.

Now that your hilarious elf idea is staged, it’s time to go to bed. Before you do, go to the bathroom mirror and practice your wave. You will be getting a lot of honks tomorrow morning. Make it a regal wave like Princess Diana (know your worth, mama) or it a very aggressive and over-the-top wave causing a little added humiliation to your children’s car ride. This is your time to shine mama – own it! Now go to bed. It’s going to be a busy day with the extra excitement you have to give this occasion.

In the morning, after the rooster crows, your child will likely be really upset they cannot find their elf. Absorb the desperation. Take a deep breath. You are about the save the day. You can guide them with questions like “Did you check outside,” “Go put your backpack in the car,” or “I think I left my sunglasses in the car, please go grab them?” Get creative with your ideas to get your child to the car. Or you can just be at a total loss and them them go for a while without finding their North Pole friend until it’s time for your road trip.

The Adventure Begins:

Picture the scene as your family embarks on their day-to-day activities with little red friend in the driver’s seat. Whether it’s the morning school run, a trip to the grocery store, or a commute to work, the “Honk if You Love Elves” signs are sure to create laughter and joy for everyone involved.

More Elf Donuts Ideas

Want sweeter donut ideas for elves? Take a look at the ways we have incorporated the sugary sweet treat of doughnuts into our elf pranks.

First, in this adorable list of ideas, our cute little friend is dressed for a day of fun with a delightful twist. The Elf is donning a whimsical donut hat, adding a touch of sweetness to his appearance. To spread a positive message, the little visitor is also carrying a tiny sign that reads, “In a world of plain bagels, be a sprinkled donut.” This creative and punny scene is a heartwarming reminder to embrace individuality and stand out in a crowd, all while enjoying the magic of the holiday season.

Want a funny story to the backstory of this next doughnut idea? Before the Elf season hit, I went on bed rest with my twins. I had to write 55 blog posts from my bed and take 55 new photos of elf ideas. This doughnut costume was purchased off Etsy. You can see my bed sheets are in the background… and don’t worry, those are not sugary circles on my bed. I photoshopped donuts to look like the North Pole Elf was staged between a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. There’s the back story and the fun holiday idea. You can grab a miniature donut costume online.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and it’s time to dust off those cherished traditions that make this time of year so special. If you’re a parent or guardian of little ones, you’re likely familiar with the mischievous charm of an elf. This beloved tradition gets a delightful twist this year with a Hot Cocoa Booth for elf, an adorable printable set that will add a touch of magic to your holiday festivities.

A Dash of Holiday Magic: Elf Traditions

For those who may not be familiar with the tradition of a family elf, it’s an annual ritual that brings excitement and wonder to the days leading up to Christmas. The idea is simple yet enchanting: an elf visitor, sent from the North Pole, watches over the household during the day and reports back to Santa each night.

The fun part? The Elf moves to a new spot in the house every night, sometimes engaging in playful antics or surprises, keeping the children on their toes. It’s a Christmas tradition that has captured the hearts of families around the world.

Introducing the Hot Cocoa Booth: A Delightful Printable Prop

This year, add an extra layer of holiday enchantment to your Christmas elf adventures with the Hot Cocoa Booth printable prop. This delightful printable set includes everything you need to create a tiny hot cocoa stand for your elf, complete with charming elf-sized cups reminiscent of your favorite Starbucks holiday drink.
