Hundreds of original and easy Elf on the Shelf ideas. This Master Elf on the Shelf List of Ideas is all of Frugal Coupon Living’s elf ideas since 2013. Happy elfing.
Master Elf on the Shelf List of Ideas
We wanted to put together all our Elf on the Shelf Ideas so you can all view in one place.
If you are struggling with finding new ideas each night, print our Elf on the Shelf Calendar which includes the supplies you need each day. This can get you prepped ahead so you are not thinking about last minute ideas.
Speaking of being last minute, we get it. I cannot tell you the number of times all my kids (I have five) are in bed and I think, what should I do with the elf? You want to know something funny. Since 2013, I have created 100s of original Elf on the Shelf Ideas and Elf on the Shelf Printables and I still struggle with ideas. Isn’t that silly? I am really not saying that. Sometimes I do the most boring ideas for my children because I just want to get in bed.
And as for winning during elf season, I cannot tell you the number of times I forget. Yep! I have forgotten so many times. Look at our list of reasons the Elf on the Shelf didn’t move and be prepared the next morning to answer for a squatting elf. Also follow this Elf on the Shelf tip, so you remember to move your elf each evening after the kids are in bed.
Master Elf on the Shelf List of Ideas
That being said, this Elf on the Shelf Master List is for you and me! I bring to you new Elf on the Shelf ideas everyday in the month of November and December (even though many of your elves don’t come until after Thanksgiving.) I will keep updating this master list so you can find new and original ideas. I have a huge list of things to come, so keep checking in. If you are on social media, follow more ideas on our Elf on the Shelf Ideas Facebook Page and Elf on the Shelf Ideas Pinterest Page.

Also, we love to share freebies. Enter your name and email address here and I will send you an email with a link and password to access all of our free Elf on the Shelf Printables.
Happy elfing!
