Elf on the Shelf Ideas | Don’t Go to School
Don’t go to school, stay and play! This cute Elf on the Shelf idea, is so easy to do. If you do this idea on a week day, and need to move elf, don’t forget our Magic Elf Grippers for moving Elf. Another idea, is to empty your child’s back pack, then evening before, after they are in bed. You can have their school backpack filled with toys and then send your child to school with a backup backpack for the day. It will be silly for them to all explain to their friends why they have another backpack for the day!
As a reminder, we bring you Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily, in the months of November and December. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.
For many of these 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!

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
