Elf on the Shelf Doll Only

Looking for a Elf on the Shelf doll only? Maybe you want to get started on this Christmas tradition or need a replacement doll? Trust me, replacement Elf dolls have been necessary for me as I have hid them well enough I could not find them the next season!

The Original Elf on the Shelf

Did you know? Elf on the Shelf was written in 2004 by Carol Aebersold and daughter Chanda Bell over a cup of tea. Bell suggested they write a book about an old tradition of an elf sent from Santa who came to watch over children at Christmas time and share with Santa who has been naughty and nice. Over time, elf ideas have evolved to funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas, Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas and even Naughty Elf on the Shelf Ideas, but the elf was not created for antics. He was created for the Christmas tradition of an elf visiting his/her assigned family… of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun.

It’s important to note that the Original Elf on the Shelf dolls come with a red Elf, a box, and a book. There are Imposter Elf on the Shelf Ideas everywhere, but the real Scout Elf will have a book and a box. That does’t mean, you can’t do something different! Why be the same when you can be unique!

Girl and Boy Elf on the Shelf Doll Only

If a plushee is a better idea for your child, pick up a plushee boy girl Elf on the shelf Set. This 12″ tall plushee elves look just like your little blue eyed scout elf hanging around your home every December. From the bright red uniform, to the brown hair, and the adorable little face, this is just like the familiar elf that visits during Christmas.

Not the Original Scout Elf

You can find Elf on the Shelf Doll only, but know this is not the true Scout Elf!  In many cases you cannot even tell a difference. You can get this Elf on the Shelf:A Christmas Tradition (light boy scout elf) for just $9.99 (no longer available). There are similar Elves on Amazon, like this Red and White Stripe Elf and this soft Plushee Elf – isn’t he a cute Santa’s helper?! This year we even got a Baby Elf to go with our Elf on the Shelf.

Did you know DaySpring has something similar? Their Christmas Tradition is The Shepherd On the Search. This set comes with a shepherd doll and book.

I have shared TONS of great ideas for this Holiday Tradition.

Don’t forget we have plenty of creative ideas and fun ideas for your Elf on the Shelf. Since 2014, we have brought new ideas every day in the season of November and December. Elf on the Shelf Ideas with Cookies, Elf on the Shelf Ideas with Stairs, I’m Back Elf on the Shelf ideas.

We also love printables. See our all Elf on the Shelf Printables including our popular Elf on the Shelf Costume Printables!

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.

It’s that time of year! Get this set of Elf on The Shelf Boy & Girl Dolls (no longer available) to start the season off! Is anyone else ready for this Christmas Tradition?

Also, check out our 2019 Elf on the Shelf Ideas, a new idea every day in November and December! You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of 2019 Elf ideas including every idea we have ever done.

When shopping for your Scout Elf, it’s important to know that the Original Elf on the Shelf comes with a book and box. Any sets sold just with dolls or colors other tan the white and red pattern we have come to know and love, are knock-offs. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun Elf antics with an imposter or impersonator!

The Original Elf on the Shelf company sells a Elf on the Shelf Boy and Girl Doll Plushee Set. This is great for younger kids. Sometimes these stuffed-animal like elves sit easier on shelves too!

There are similar traditional Elf dolls on Amazon, like this Red and White Stripe Elf and this soft Plushee Elf on the shelf boy and girl Elf – isn’t he a cute Santa’s helper?! This year we even got a Baby Elf to go with our Elf on the Shelf.

Follow the star, just like DaySpring has done with their similar Christian holiday tradition. Their Christmas Tradition is The Shepherd On the Search. This set comes with a shepherd boy doll and book.

Reasons the Elf on the Shelf Didn’t Move

Are you following all our Elf on the Shelf Ideas? We have plenty of creative elf ideas for the holiday season, but sometimes the worst happens – Elf on the Shelf Didn’t Move. Take a look at these 25 reasons your elf lost magic!

Elf on the Shelf Didn’t Move!

Reasons Elf on the Shelf Didn't Move

It is inevitable. Even with hundreds of Elf on the Shelf Ideas floating in your head, you forget. One morning, your child will wake you up upset because that funny Elf on a Shelf is in the same spot as when he or she went to bed. That Elf sometimes gets lazy, distracted and completely unaware of what he is supposed to do, right?

It happens! Don’t worry mom.


move-elf-tip-frugal-coupon-living

Before you make your next move, go to your phone. On your calendar, set an alarm or reminder for the next x-number of days. Remind yourself each evening with a simple acronym EOTS. I used to set mine for 10 PM, but as my kid population increased, my reminder is now 9:30 PM. I need sleep too.

Next, study these 25 Elf on the Shelf Ideas your Elf didn’t move. You need to be prepared with a quick answer. Many of these reasons are very reasonable! If elf just lost his magic, be sure to use this Magic Gripper Elf on the Shelf printable to move him!

Elf on Shelf Ideas – Your Elf Didn’t Move!

So what are we to tell the kids when this happens? Do you have some ready made reasons?

Here are 25 solid ones that are completely factual about our little Elf on a Shelf:

1) He’s Tired or Sick. Be sure to “doctor” him back to health before relocation, drop him some medicine and maybe a band-aid.

2) It’s a Trick – He moved and came back to the same spot! He really likes this spot. Don’t you notice how his leg is a little different?

3) He Fell Asleep Waiting on You to Fall Asleep. Be sure to make sure you in bed on time.

4) He’s Teleworking Today. This is an important skill for Elves as they get older.

5) FAA Grounded All Elves due to Storms. This is a good time to turn on the Weather Channel.

6) He Sprained His Ankle. Place and ace bandage and some Advil beside him.

7) He Heard You Turn Over In Bed Last Night. He thought you were getting up and froze!

8) He Stayed Up Late Watching The Weather Channel (For the North Pole) and got Distracted. Again, this is a good time to turn on the weather channel.

9) He is stuck! Make sure you save him and get him loose, leave some ropes or a ladder. You could also use the Elf on the Shelf Magic Grippers (free printable!)

10) He ate too much and did not feel like moving. Drop off some Pepto-Bismol and maybe some Saltines.

11) It is my fault. I got up to use the bathroom and I bet he stayed put because of it. Apologize to the kids and promise to be quieter tonight.

12) Our dog (cat, etc) kept on moving and would not give him room to move. When all else goes wrong, blaming the pet always works.

13) He is on North Pole time. He still might move. Move Elf after the kids go to school.

14) He had jet lag. He had to visit the North Pole twice last night.  Give him a pen and paper so he can take notes. This will prevent him for having to go to the NP twice for forgetting to share information with Santa.

15) He couldn’t leave because of an Elf traffic Jam. Tonight, half the elves will visit Santa while the other half stay behind until the can clear the transport holes.

16) It is a super special Elf Holiday! Do something special for elf. He loves balloons, streamers, cookies, anything that celebrates his Elf Holiday.

17) Elf had a gift wrapping party with the other elves and forgot to move places when he came back. While the kids are not looking, place remnants of wrapping paper around the house for you, or them, to uncover.

18) It was a test to see if you are paying attention. You pass!

19) He sent the message to the North Pole via federal express. He was tired. Give him a blanket and pillow.

20) He sent the message with a friend’s Elf so he didn’t have to travel. That’s friendship!

21) You stayed up too late! Did you fall asleep right away? We’re you talking?

22) He wanted to move but the eggnog was weighing him down.  Again, drop off some Pepto-Bismol and maybe some Saltines.

23) He did move…but only a few inches. Look, can’t you see?!

24) His Christmas Spirit must be low! Can we sing to him to boost him back up? Even elves get down now and then!

25) Santa gave him the day off for being such a good elf! Give him a star and let him know how proud you are of him.
