Elf on the Shelf Ideas | Magic Shrinking Machine

We are back, so is the Elf! If you have been with us a long time, you know we have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas EVERY DAY (in November and December) for the past four years

Magic Shrinking Machine Printable! These cookies were too big. Elf brought home a magic shrinking machine and turned chocolate chip cookies into mini chocolate chip cookies! We wrapped a shipping box in Christmas Wrapping paper. We used some of the excess edges to line the cookies going into the machine and coming out.

Elf on the Shelf Idea Supplies:

• Elf on the Shelf
• Christmas Wrapping paper
• Chocolate chip cookies
• Mini chocolate chip cookies
• Printer paper (unless you print elsewhere)

You can also use Hershey Kisses (turned into chocolate chips)  and candy canes of two different sizes.

For this idea, we also made you a printable!

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.
