Elf Selfie

The first time I ever shared an Elf Selfie idea was probably 2011. It was before  selfies were a thing and you had to turn the camera around backwards. Clearly, the social trend of selfies as come a long way and I figured I better step up the Elf on the Shelf Idea.

This year, as a new Elf on the Shelf Selfie Idea, I added a “let’s take a s-elf-ie” printable letter board. Add this to your Scout Elves at play for a cute and creative idea.

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.

Elf on the Shelf Ideas For Two Elves

Let’s chat! I have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily (in the months of November and December) for the past seven years. That’s almost 60 new ideas a year, so very close to 500 new ideas. In that time, very few of my ideas include two elves. Why? Because once you introduce a new Elf, expect your child to expect a new Elf each time. It’s just hard to go back. That being said, there are many cute Two Elf on a Shelf Ideas.

Before moving on, remember you can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

Can you have 2 Elf on the shelves?

Yes. You can have 2 Elf on the Shelves. You will need to buy an authentic Elf on a Shelf Kit.  Creatively Classic Activities and Books (Elf on the Shelf founders) do not sell the dolls individually or in sets of two. You will know you have the REAL Elf on the Shelf Doll if you buy your elf doll in a box with a book.

Where to Buy a Second Elf on the Shelf Doll

However, when introducing a second Scout Elf to the family, you have a few options…

Another Real Elf on the Shelf Set

Minatare Elf on the Shelf

Elf Baby

Any Elf Doll

Elf on The Shelf Fake

Elf on the Shelf Plushee Pals Set

If using a small or miniature Elf, you can have an entire year of  a baby Elf on the Shelf and the next year, that mini elf can turn into a larger Elf doll.

For many of Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial.  You also can shop our collection of Elf Printables for ideas to cover the entire season!

How to Stop Elf on the Shelf

If having an Elf on the Shelf is too much, you can make your Elf doll a temporary visitor. Sometimes elves do not visit for the entire season. Sometimes they share families. You also can use an Elf on the Shelf Retirement Letter, so your Elf can move on to a new family. One last idea, is having your Elf travel. Using an Elf Postcard, your elf can write a note form the North Pole or Beach. During this time your family will not have Elf while they spend a few days traveling.

The same can be said for having two Elf on the Shelf dolls. You can have your second elf temporarily visit as a friend or relative of your family’s Elf doll. You can also have your Elf retire moving on to a new family who needs to make the nice list.
