Elf on the Shelf Book Only

It was a bit surprising for me to see the The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Book only without the Elf on the Shelf doll and box. In fact, we know the Official Elf on the Shelf doll comes with the book and box, never alone and never in a color other than red!


What is the Elf on the Shelf Book?

The plot of the Elf on the Shelf book describes how Santa’s “scout elves” visit homes and watch over day to day happenings. The red elves leave to visit the North Pole every night and then go back to their assigned home each morning. By hiding in a new spot each morning, the scout elf plays an ongoing game of hide and seek with the family.

In order to get their magic, The Elf on the Shelf explains that scout elves get their magic by being named and being loved by a child. In the back of each book, families have an opportunity to write their elf’s name and the date that they adopted it. Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic, which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole.

But careful. Elf’s magic might disappear if the North Pole elf visitor is touched. So only one Elf on the Shelf rule must be followed – do not touch Elf. The story ends on Christmas Day with the Elf on the Shelf leaving to stay with Santa for the rest of the year until the following Christmas season.

Miniature Elf on the Shelf Book

You can get an Elf on the Shelf mini book printable  for both your child and Elf to have their very one elf! (Update: this Elf on the Shelf Book PDF free is no longer available.)

However, you can also grab a Free Miniature Elf on the Shelf Printable Story Book only on ElfontheShelf.com. Print your Elf on the Shelf Book PDF free and cut and gift to your miniature Elf doll.

Also purchase a miniature Elf on the Shelf Book. This is a plastic mini Elf on the Shelf book version and comes with a cute inflatable chair and buffalo plaid blanket.


Elf on the Shelf Doll Only

Like I shared above. It is rare for you to find a book to purchase alone. The same is true of finding an Elf on the Shelf doll only.

When you buy Elf on the shelf, there are some important features to look for. 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.

One official Elf doll you can get alone is the World’s Smallest Elf on the Shelf doll. We have some cute miniature Elf on the Shelf Ideas in our Master list.

Now you can also buy Elf on the Shelf dolls with different genders and ethnicities. See where to buy a Black Elf on the Shelf doll.


Unboxing Elf on the Shelf

You can see  a quick video of us Unboxing the Elf on the Shelf. Our set came with both the Elf on the Shelf book, doll, box and a gingerbread costume and house!

    […] Also specialty stores and boutiques have been known to have Elf on the Shelf kits. Sometimes these Elf sets are available longer than your big box stores and large online retailers. Some boutique stores have had Elf on the Shelf doll only (which is never the original Scout Elf, as Scout Elves comes with a Elf on the Shelf book.) […]
