This funny and creative idea for The Elf on the Shelf was shared by Elf setter-upper Clare S. and adds a delightful twist to your elf’s holiday antics! In this amusing scene, your little friend is busy “creating” the classic red and green holiday M&Ms by coloring white ones with markers. The Elf on the Shelf has a bowl of white M&Ms and a bowl of red and green M&Ms, and is holding a green marker while a red marker lies in front of him. It looks like the elf is hard at work turning the plain white candies into festive Christmas colors. It’s a cute and whimsical idea that brings some humor to your elf’s adventures, leaving your kids to wonder if all the holiday M&Ms are actually made by tiny elves like their cheerful companion.

How to Set Up The Elf on the Shelf Coloring M&Ms

In this charming setup, your family elf takes on the role of a holiday candy artist, transforming plain white M&Ms into the iconic red and green holiday treats. The playful scene suggests that holiday helpers like The Elf on the Shelf are responsible for making the colorful candies we all enjoy during the season. This setup is simple to create but brings a lot of holiday cheer and laughter to your home.

Supplies Needed for Your Holiday Helper’s Coloring M&Ms Scene

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • Bowl of white M&Ms
  • Bowl of red and green M&Ms
  • Red marker
  • Green marker

Instructions for Staging The Elf Coloring M&Ms Idea

  1. Start by positioning The Elf on the Shelf on a table or countertop. Place the little guy in a way that looks like they are actively coloring the M&Ms.
  2. Place a bowl of white M&Ms on one side of the elf and a bowl of red and green M&Ms on the other side.
  3. Position a red marker in front of the elf, and place a green marker in the elf’s hand as if they are in the process of coloring one of the white M&Ms.
  4. Scatter a few red and green M&Ms in front of the elf to make it look like the transformation is already in progress.
  5. Step back and admire your tiny elf’s creative candy-making skills as they “color” the white M&Ms into festive holiday colors.

This coloring M&Ms idea is a great way to add a touch of humor and creativity to your elf’s holiday antics. Your kids will love discovering how their mischievous little guy has been “making” the festive red and green M&Ms, adding even more magic to the holiday season!

Are you ready to add a sprinkle of magic to your Christmas party or family holiday fun? Look no further than our delightful “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game—a whimsical and interactive experience for children and adults alike! This printable game is a perfect addition to any holiday gathering, making gift-giving extra fun while adding a touch of Christmas spirit.

Not only is this game great for parties, but it can also be a charming surprise from your Christmas elf visitor. Imagine the excitement when the elf introduces this magical activity to your kids!

How the “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game Works

The game is centered around a fun and engaging story filled with the words “left” and “right.” As the story is read aloud, participants pass a small gift (or several gifts) to the person on their left or right whenever those words are mentioned. By the end of the story, the gift could end up in anyone’s hands!

What You Need to Play:

  • Our printable “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game
  • Christmas Elf Doll (optional)
  • A small wrapped gift (or multiple gifts if you have a larger group)
  • A group of eager participants!

This holiday game is perfect for any Christmas gathering, whether it’s a cozy family night or a classroom holiday party. It’s easy to set up, requires minimal materials, and guarantees lots of laughter as gifts are passed back and forth!

Fun Ideas to Involve Your Christmas Elf Visitor

If your family has a Christmas elf visiting for the season, this game provides the perfect opportunity for them to join the fun! Here are some ideas on how your elf can play a role in this magical game:

  • Elf as the Gift Bearer: Imagine your elf arriving one morning with a small wrapped gift, ready for the kids to use in the Pass the Present game. They could leave a note encouraging everyone to gather around for a special surprise!
  • Elf as the Storyteller: Your elf could be found sitting with the printable game story in hand, as if they’re about to read it aloud. This adds an extra layer of excitement for the kids as they prepare to play the game.
  • Elf’s Personal Touch: To add a little extra magic, the elf could leave behind some holiday-themed wrapping paper or small trinkets to be used as the “gifts” in the game. This adds a personalized touch that your kids will love!
  • Elf Surprise Gift: After the game, the elf might leave behind a surprise gift for the winner or for all the kids to share. Whether it’s a small toy, a holiday treat, or even a sweet note, the possibilities are endless!

Does the Elf Bring Gifts?

A common question families ask is, “Does the elf bring gifts?” The answer varies depending on your family’s traditions! Some families like to keep the elf as a playful visitor who only causes a little mischief or fun, while others enjoy adding a gift-giving element to their elf’s daily appearances.

If you decide that your elf will bring gifts, here are a few ideas:

  • Small, Simple Gifts: Candy canes, holiday stickers, or mini Christmas ornaments make for great, inexpensive surprises.
  • Gifts for Group Games: Your elf could leave behind a wrapped gift to be used in a fun game like the Pass the Parcel Elf Game.
  • One Big Surprise: Some families enjoy having the elf bring one special gift on Christmas Eve or just before they say goodbye for the season.

Whether or not your elf brings gifts is completely up to you! The important thing is to make the tradition work for your family and create holiday memories filled with joy.

Why You’ll Love the Pass the Gift Elf Game

  • Simple to Set Up: All you need is a printable game sheet, a small gift, and some eager participants!
  • Perfect for All Ages: Kids, teens, and even adults can enjoy the fun of passing a gift as the story unfolds.
  • Fun for Parties or Family Gatherings: This game works wonderfully at holiday parties, classroom events, or as a new family tradition during the Christmas season.

Tips to Make It Extra Special

  • Use Multiple Gifts: For larger groups, consider using several small gifts so that more people end up with something by the end of the game.
  • Create a Festive Atmosphere: Play some Christmas music in the background, set up holiday decorations, and have some hot cocoa ready to sip on while playing the game.
  • Make It a Surprise: If you’re hosting a party, keep the gift wrapped and a mystery until the end of the game. The excitement of wondering what’s inside adds an extra element of fun!

Bring the Magic of Christmas into Your Home

The “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game is a wonderful way to keep the holiday spirit alive in your home. Whether your Christmas elf introduces the game or it’s simply part of your festive activities, it’s sure to bring smiles and laughter to all who play.

Gather your loved ones, grab the printable, and let the holiday magic begin with this unforgettable Christmas adventure!

Using simple supplies like mirror card stock, plastic, and tinsel, this fun idea is the perfect way to get your child excited about spending the day with their tiny scout. The end result? A festive and playful way for your child to carry their favorite Christmas companion wherever they go!

Can You Carry The Elf on the Shelf?

Yes, you can carry The Elf on the Shelf! But remember the Elf rules, you cannot touch the Elf.

By securing the elf inside a custom-made shirt design, your little one can take their Christmas companion wherever they go, adding an extra bit of holiday fun to their day.

Supplies Needed for Your Christmas Elf’s Wearable Stunt

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • T-shirt or Sweater (one you don’t mind altering)
  • Circle of silver mirror contact paper
  • Clear plastic (to cover the elf)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Tinsel (to hide the glue edges)
  • Bean bag filling (optional, to create a snow effect)
  • Card stock and markers (to write a fun message)
  • Optional: Extra Christmas crafts for recording the shirt

Instructions for How to Wear The Elf on the Shelf

  1. Start by choosing a t-shirt that you don’t mind-altering.
  2. Cut a circle out of silver mirror card stock and hot glue it to the front of the t-shirt. This will serve as the “background” for your elf.
  3. Position your festive scout in the middle of the circle on the shirt, arranging the little guy to sit as if they’re ready to hang out with your child.
  4. If you want to create a snow effect, add some stuffing from a bean bag around the elf for an extra playful touch.
  5. Using the hot glue gun, carefully glue clear plastic over the holiday helper to secure them in place. Be sure to leave some room so that the elf is visible but protected.
  6. Add tinsel around the edges of the plastic to hide any hot glue and make the design look festive and clean.
  7. Once everything is dry, write a fun message from your jolly sprite, like “Let’s hang out today” or “Let’s go on an adventure—me and you!”
  8. Now your child can wear their magical elf all day long, bringing holiday cheer everywhere they go!

This fun and interactive “elf on the go” idea is a creative way to let your child spend the day with their favorite little friend. It’s sure to be a big hit and will make this year’s elf antics even more special proving the age-old elf question “Can I take The Elf on the Shelf with me?”
