Elf on the Shelf Jokes for Kids

You guys, this might be my favorite set of Elf on the Shelf printables. Three reasons. First, this printable set covers 8 days. Eight days mamas! If you are someone who does Scout Elf from December 1 to December 24, that covers 1/3 of your creative ideas. Second, this brings clean Elf humor to your home. No naughty, mischievous Elf ideas. Cute, clean fun. Third (and really not final, but I didn’t need to ramble any more), these Elf on the Shelf Ideas are really easy. Like, pull out an apple and pair with this a pineapple. Grab some mushrooms, display your joke card and your elf. Yes, we are talking easy ideas. And easy, memorable jokes. Your kids will share these at school with their friend!

As a reminder, 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 sign up for all of our Free Elf on the Shelf Printables here.

Elf on the Shelf Christmas Tradition

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.
