How to Set Up the Hunt

First, download your Elf on the Shelf treasure hunt set. Print the digital files.

Lay out the Hidden Elves Scavenger Hunt letter with your Scout Elf in a new spot. Your family elf is delivering the interactive activity.

In the midst of holiday cheer, there is a little rhyme,

It’s a festive riddle, just for Christmas time.

Twelve elves are hiding, causing giggles and fun,

Can you find them all? Let’s get this quest done!

Cut out the paper elves. Discreetly place the twelve elves in various spots around your home. Get creative – think bookshelves, under cushions, behind curtains, or peeking out from the Christmas tree.

Adaptions: For older kids, use the entire house. For younger kids, make the hidden elves in obvious locations.  You can announce a perimeter so your entire house is not torn apart.

Options: Enhance the festive atmosphere by adding some holiday decorations or props near the hidden elves. Perhaps some tiny presents, miniature candy canes, fun prizes, and treats, or a gift to make the hunt even more magical.

The Joy of Discovery

As the kids awaken to the rhyming note, their eyes will light up with excitement. The challenge is on! Encourage them to work together, following the rhyming note and searching high and low for the elusive elves. The joy of discovery is unmatched as each elf is found, bringing smiles and laughter to your home.

These are just a few ideas to get started with the Elf on the Shelf before you jump into a Christmas countdown. Get creative and have fun with it!

Countdown Calendars

Countdown calendars are a great way to build excitement for the holidays and keep track of how many days are left until Christmas. Here are some fun and easy ideas for DIY countdown calendars that you can make at home:

DIY Calendar Ideas

As the festive season approaches, there’s no better way to count down the days to Christmas than with these charming and interactive DIY calendars. From filling Santa’s beard with fluffy cotton balls to crafting colorful paper chains, we’ve curated a collection of fun and festive ideas that will add a touch of magic to your Scout Elf on the Shelf tradition.

Santa Beard Cotton Balls

For this countdown calendar, all you need is a picture of Santa Claus and some cotton balls. Each day, glue a cotton ball onto Santa’s beard until it’s full and fluffy on Christmas Day. It’s a fun and silly way to count down the days. Each day your Elf can deliver a cotton ball with his elf antic.

Toilet Paper Roll

Save up your empty toilet paper rolls and turn them into a festive countdown calendar. Cut them into equal pieces and decorate each one with wrapping paper, stickers, or paint. Then, stack them up and fill them with treats or small gifts for each day. This creates a cute DIY Advent Calendar. Elf can deliver the toilet paper roll presents daily. As a fun Elf idea, one extra roll of toilet paper and create a toilet paper roll Elf on the Shelf Countdown where there are a few days left until Christmas. (See more Elf on the Shelf Ideas with Toilet Paper.)

Cereal

If you have cereal lying around, you can turn it into a fun countdown calendar. Use cereal (fruit loops are great) and write out the number of days until Santa’s arrival with this cereal countdown idea.

Paper Chain Craft

For a classic countdown calendar, make a paper chain out of construction paper. Cut strips of paper and glue them together to create a chain. Write a number on each link and hang it up. Each day, tear off one link until you reach Christmas Day. This can be done from the ceiling fan or another area of your home.

Dry Erase Board

Add Christmas countdown decor that can be brought by your elves. This printable Christmas countdown can be placed inside a picture frame and you can write on the countdown chart daily using a dry-erase marker.

Chalkboard Craft

The Dollar Tree has cute props for Elf on the Shelf. You can grab this free printable decal and add the number of days until Christmas using chalk in this DIY countdown chalkboard for Christmas.

Bible Verses

If you want Christian Elf on the Shelf ideas counting down the days until Jesus’s birthday, introduce these Elf on the Shelf Advent Calendar Bible Verses. These easy-to-read scripture cards tell the story of Jesus’s birth.

Store-Bought Alternatives

If you don’t have time to make your own countdown calendar, there are plenty of store-bought options available. Look for Advent calendars with pockets, doors, or drawers that you can fill with treats or small gifts. You can also find reusable calendars that you can use year after year. If you are using something that is opened daily, consider adding small treats like these Advent Calendar Fillers.

No matter which type of countdown calendar you choose, it’s sure to add some excitement and anticipation to the holiday season.

Elf Departure

As the holiday season comes to a close, it’s time for the Elf on the Shelf to say goodbye. Here are some fun ideas to make the Elf’s departure just as exciting as its arrival.

Saying Goodbye

• Elf Thank You Note: Have the Elf leave a note thanking the family for the fun and memories shared during its stay. The note can also include a small gift, such as a candy cane or a mini toy.
• Elf Photo Album: Create a mini photo album of the Elf’s adventures during its stay. Include pictures of the Elf getting into mischief, hiding in silly places, and having fun with the family.
• Elf Goodbye Party: Host a mini party for the Elf’s departure. Decorate with balloons and streamers, and serve Elf-themed treats like sugar cookies shaped like the Elf’s hat.

With these fun ideas, saying goodbye to the Elf on the Shelf doesn’t have to be sad. It can be a fun and memorable event that the family will look forward to every year.

Introducing the Christmas Tree Monster—a tree with a taste for holiday cheer and a unique way of spreading joy… by eating tiny elves!

Funny Elf on the Shelf Idea – Christmas Tree Monster “Feed Me Elves” Note

To begin this festive adventure, gather the materials needed to transform your Christmas tree into a friendly monster. You’ll need cardstock to create menacing teeth and paper plates to craft monster eyes.

Supplies

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your Elf printables)
• Scissors
• Glue or Tape
• Printer (Low-cost pick)
• Paper Plates
• Markers
• Construction Paper
• Feed Me Elves Printable Note for Elf
• Optional: Oversized Giant Googly Eyes

The Elf Prank Setup:

To begin the project, gather your craft supplies and turn your Christmas Tree into a monster using paper plates for eyes, and paper to create sharp white teeth. You can color the eyes with markers or use construction paper for detail. Cardstock works great for sharp teeth or you can use printer paper taped together or poster board.

Once your tree has undergone its monster makeover, it’s time to introduce the star of the show—the Elf on the Shelf!

Place your mischievous elf inside the Christmas tree monster’s mouth, strategically positioning it to appear as if the tree is holding the elf in the grips of his sharp teeth. The final touch is the pièce de résistance—the ransom note!

Downloading the Ransom Note:

To make it even easier for parents to stage this hilarious Elf on the Shelf idea, we’ve prepared a downloadable ransom note template.

Executing the Elf Ransom Adventure:

On the first morning of the Christmas Tree Monster’s appearance, your kids will wake up to the surprise of their captured elf. The ransom note will add an element of mystery and excitement, prompting them to figure out how to satisfy the tree’s unusual demand. their family Elf is already in the mouth of the monster but are the other elves to feed the tree?

Encourage your little ones to get creative—perhaps write a note to save their family elf or offer  Christmas Tree Monster an alternative idea like a small treat? The next day, imagine the joy and laughter as your kids discover that their efforts have been rewarded with a delightful display of “presents” beneath the tree.

Present Ideas:

Don’t get too complicated with the presents. Present rewards can be small boxes of wrapped trinkets. Small Gift ideas from the Elf on the Shelf might include:

• Experience tickets
• Christmas Pajamas
• A Christmas Book
• Candy or Candy Canes
• Christmas Party Favors
• Dollar Tree Toys

Conclusion:
