The Elf on the Shelf is a beloved Christmas tradition that has been around for decades. This year, why not add a fun twist to your Scout Elf’s antics by incorporating singing fruit? With this creative idea, you can create a festive scene by placing The Elf on a Shelf with a Christmas sheet of music and a bundle of bananas that have faces drawn out of Sharpie markers on each banana. But that’s not all – add some clementines with faces drawn on them that look like they are singing, and you’ve got a fun and unique holiday display that your kids will love. To create the simple elf idea, simply draw faces on the bananas and clementines, and arrange them around your Santa’s helper. Then, place the sheet of music nearby, and your little red elf will look like he’s leading a festive fruit choir. This is a great way to add some extra magic to your holiday season and create memories that your family will cherish for years to come.

The Elf on the Shelf Fruit Singing

Prepare to elevate the holiday spirit with a unique The Elf on the Shelf idea. This year, your mischievous visitor will orchestrate a lively performance featuring singing fruit. Follow our straightforward guide to bring this festive scene to life for your little ones.

Materials Needed:

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Christmas sheet music (We used We Wish You a Merry Christmas)
• Bundle of bananas
• Clementines
• Sharpie markers (black)
• Craft supplies (optional)
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your printables)
• Printer (Low-cost pick)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Set the Stage: Choose a location for your holiday elf’s musical scene. Ensure it’s a spot where your kids can easily spot the magical performance. We used the kitchen counter so we could use our fruit stand.
2. Print the Sheet Music: Find or print a Christmas sheet of music with the classic tune “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” You can easily download and print free sheet music online.
3. Fruit Faces: Draw happy faces on each banana using a Sharpie marker. Get creative with expressions to add personality to your fruity choir.
4. Citrus Serenade: Draw cheerful singing faces on the clementines. Arrange them alongside the bananas to create a joyful singing group.
5. The Conductor: Position The Elf on the Shelf near the musical ensemble. Consider placing the North Pole visitor in a pose as if it’s directing the fruit choir, holding a miniature conductor’s baton or sheet music is optional. You could reduce the size of your sheet music so you have an elf-sized printable prop for him/her to hold.
6. Optional Craft Enhancements: If you’re feeling crafty, consider creating tiny musical instruments for your fruit characters using toothpicks, small pieces of paper, and glue. This can add an extra layer of charm to the scene.
7. Capture the Moment: Take a photo of the musical fruit scene. Share it with friends and family or create a cherished keepsake for your holiday photo album. Make sure to hashtag us! #FrugalCouponLiving
8. Morning Surprise: On the following morning, reveal the festive scene to your children. Watch their faces light up with joy and wonder. This Elf on the Shelf idea is sure to become a cherished holiday memory.

The holiday season is upon us, and for parents everywhere, that means it’s The Elf on the Shelf time! However, not every parent has the time, energy, or creativity to come up with elaborate setups for their mischievous little elf friend. If you find yourself in this boat, fear not!

The Elf on the Shelf Pillow Tower

Let’s create this simple yet charming Pillow Tower Extravaganza in the living room. An easy setup for Christmas elves with a festive delight!

Supplies

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Pillows

Simple, right?

Setting the Stage:

1. Gather Your Supplies: Start by collecting a variety of pillows from around your home. Pillows of different shapes, sizes, and colors will add visual interest to your cozy tower. Raid the living room, bedrooms, and even that forgotten pillow in the closet.
2. Choose a Prime Location: Select a prominent spot in your living room where your little ones are sure to notice the holiday elf’s latest escapade. The Christmas tree area or a central coffee table are ideal locations.
3. Build Your Pillow Tower: Begin stacking the pillows to create a tower. Mix and match the pillows to add character to your little red elf’s perch. You don’t need a perfect tower – a whimsical and slightly off-kilter structure will only add to the charm.
4. Place Scout Elf: Once your tower is complete, gently perch your The Elf on the Shelf on top. Position the North Pole Visitor to give the impression that it climbed up the tower during the night.

Enhance the Scene:

1. Add Miniature Props: To enhance the lazy Scout Elf’s adventure, consider scattering tiny props around the tower. Miniature ornaments, festive trinkets, or even a tiny ladder will add an extra layer of detail.
2. Create a Story: As you reveal the setup to your children, weave a whimsical tale about the easy elf’s journey to the top of the pillow tower. Encourage your kids to imagine the North Pole visitor’s nighttime adventures and ask them to share their own stories.

Embracing the holiday spirit doesn’t have to be a stress-inducing affair, especially when it comes to the beloved tradition of The Elf on the Shelf. The Pillow Tower Extravaganza offers a quick and easy solution for parents who want to delight their children without spending hours planning elaborate setups.

The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s time for the return of everyone’s favorite North Pole visitor – The Elf on the Shelf! This year, why not shake things up with a brand-new game that’s sure to bring laughter and joy to your home? Introducing the “Hungry Hippo Extravaganza,” a delightful twist on the classic game, featuring your beloved North Pole visitor and a board filled with mini marshmallow madness.

Setting the Scene

To kick off this festive adventure, gather your materials.

You’ll need the following items:

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Hungry Hungry Hippo game board
• Mini marshmallows

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose Your Board: Find a small game board, either from the Hungry Hungry Hippos game or a similar one (look at this unicorn board.) Make sure it’s compact enough to fit in the designated Scout Elf hangout.
2. Marshmallow Madness: Replace the traditional plastic balls with mini marshmallows. Not only do they add a sweet touch to the game, but they’re also much easier to clean up – aka eat!
3. Holiday Elf Placement: Position The Elf on the Shelf at the edge of the board, hands ready for action so their hippo can dive headfirst into the marshmallow mayhem!
4. Solo or Group Play: Your family elf can enjoy a solitary game or invite friends (other elves or stuffed animals) to join in the fun. Set up a mini competition or let them play for the sheer enjoyment of it. Leave one hippo open so your child can play, if they desire.
5. Capture the Moments: As your North Pole visitor engages in the marshmallow-filled madness, capture these adorable moments on camera. Whether they’re skillfully collecting marshmallows or causing a hilarious marshmallow avalanche, these snapshots will be cherished memories for years to come. Be sure to share on social media with the hashtag #FrugalCouponLiving.

If you’re a parent in search of a quick and easy The Elf on the Shelf idea that will leave your kids in fits of giggles, look no further! In this blog post, we’ll guide you through a charming and simple setup where your elf finds themselves in a bit of a bind – quite literally.

The Elf on the Shelf Stuck in the Blinds

The Elf on the Shelf Stuck in the Blinds is a whimsical and easy-to-set-up idea that will bring a touch of enchantment to your holiday season. With just a few household items and a dash of creativity, you can create a memorable moment for your children that they’ll treasure for years to come.

Supplies:

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your Elf printables)
• Marker or Pen
• Window Blinds
• Optional: tape

Instructions:

The setup for this Christmas Elf idea is very simple.

1. Choose the Perfect Window: Select a window in a high-traffic area of your home where your kids are sure to notice the little escapade. The living room or kitchen are ideal spots.
2. Prepare the Note: Take a sheet of paper and a marker or pen. Write a whimsical note from your mischievous holiday elf. Something like, “Roses are red, violets are blue, I got stuck in the blinds, coming back to you.” This poetic touch adds a sweet and humorous element to the scenario.
3. Set the Scene: Position Santa’s helper near the window blinds. Carefully arrange the blinds around the North Pole Friend to create the illusion that they’ve become entangled in the window treatment.
4. Place the Note: Gently tuck the handwritten note amidst the blinds or attach it to the Scout Elf’s hands. This will be the first thing your children see, sparking their curiosity and excitement.
5. Watch and Enjoy: Sit back and observe as your kids discover the adorable predicament your little guy has found themselves in. The combination of the note and the little red guy caught in the blinds is sure to elicit smiles and laughter.

Tips:

• Timing is Everything: Consider executing The Elf on the Shelf idea on a weekend morning or during a time when your kids are likely to stumble upon the delightful scene and your blinds are not needed.
• Capture the Moment: Have your camera or smartphone ready to capture the priceless expressions on your children’s faces when they find the North Pole visitor in this amusing situation. Share to social media and use hashtag #FrugalCouponLiving
• Encourage Imagination: Use this scenario as an opportunity to encourage your children’s imagination. Ask them how they think Santa’s helper got stuck and what adventures they imagine the little friend had before getting caught.
• Use an Envelope: One hack is to write your Roses are Red, and Violets are Blue poem on an envelope. That will allow you to hang the lip of the envelope on the blinds.

Happy elfin’ around!

The festive season is upon us, and it’s time for The Elf on the Shelf to sprinkle some holiday magic into your home! In this enchanting The Elf on the Shelf idea, we’re taking a classic twist by turning ordinary matchbox cars into a miniature sleigh, complete with nine “reindeer” and a special touch of Rudolph’s red nose. Get ready for a whimsical journey as your Scout Elf transforms into Santa, ready to embark on a thrilling ride around your home.

Setting the Scene

Picture this: The Elf on the Shelf, known for mischief and merriment, has orchestrated a creative escape plan. Instead of the traditional sleigh, your little friend has harnessed the power of matchbox cars to create a festive convoy. The cars are lined up in a precise formation, reminiscent of Santa’s iconic sleigh, with each car adorned as one of the beloved reindeer.

To add that extra dash of holiday flair, the leading car, symbolizing Rudolph, boasts a cheerful red pom-pom affixed to the front. The antlers, crafted from brown pipe cleaners, give each “reindeer” its distinct and adorable appearance. The entire ensemble is held together with festive red and white baker’s twine, creating the illusion of a charming, pint-sized sleigh.

Recreating the Magic

Now, let’s bring this heartwarming scene to life in your own home. Here’s a step-by-step guide to recreating The Elf on the Shelf matchbox sleigh ride:

Materials Needed:

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Scissors
• Matchbox Toy Cars (nine in total)
• Brown Pipe Cleaners
• Red Pom-Pom
• Red & White Baker’s Twine
• Jar
• Glue or Double-Sided Tape

How to Set-Up:

Step 1: Arrange the Matchbox Cars
Line up nine matchbox cars in a straight row, ensuring they are close together to create the sleigh effect. Place them in a manner that allows The Elf on the Shelf to sit in a jar behind them.

Step 2: Craft Antlers
Twist brown pipe cleaners into antler shapes and affix them to each car. This step adds a delightful touch, transforming the cars into adorable miniature reindeer.

Step 3: Rudolph’s Red Nose
Select the first car in the row to represent Rudolph. Attach a red pom-pom to the front using double-sided tape or a glue dot. This creates the iconic red nose that guides the way.

Step 4: Baker’s Twine Magic
Take red and white baker’s twine and carefully tie each car together, ensuring a snug fit. This creates the illusion of a connected sleigh. Get creative with the twine, forming loops and bows for added festive charm. Attach the end of the twine to Scout Elf’s hands.

Step 5: Scout Elf Takes the Lead
Place your mischievous The Elf on the Shelf behind the “sleigh,” in a jar with its hands reaching out as though guiding the magical journey.

Watch as the magic unfolds in your home with this delightful The Elf on the Shelf idea. The creativity and joy this scene brings will undoubtedly captivate both young and old alike. Get ready for smiles, laughter, and the warmth of the holiday spirit as The Elf on the Shelf transforms into Santa’s trusted sleigh conductor, all with the charm of matchbox magic.

Happy holidays and happy elfin’ around!
