Fun Elf on the Shelf Birthday Ideas

Do you have a December birthday? Does Elf come to visit at any time in the year to celebrate your son/daughter(s) birthday? We personally have three December birthdays and Elf has to be on his game with birthday Elf on the Shelf Ideas!

Does Elf on the Shelf come on your birthday?

While Santa’s birthday and Elf on the Shelf’s Birthday are mysteries, both really love celebrating the birthdays of young boys and girls. In fact, it doesn’t have to be December for an Elf on the Shelf can make a special appearance on a child’s birthday. The Elf can make a visit 365 days a year to celebrate a birthday. This can be done with a sweet happy birthday Elf on the Shelf note in the mail or this might be a one time day visit complete with a birthday cake, birthday breakfast and even a special birthday gift.

Elf on the Shelf Birthday tradition book and cupcake costume

To incorporate an Elf doll on your special boy/girl’s birthday, start with reading Elf on the Shelf A Birthday Tradition. You can order the Elf birthday book online which comes with a cute Elf on the Shelf cupcake costume. Decorate your Elf doll in their special Elf on the Shelf birthday tradition outfit and sing a little tune of Happy birthday.

If you don’t have access to a Elf birthday book, perhaps send Elf on the Shelf birthday letters or a special birthday note in the mailbox. This can be the first step in the start of a birthday celebration.


Now that you and your child have talked about a birthday and their North Pole friend, they might ask for a special visit for a birthday. This is where you can introduce one of many Elf on the Shelf Birthday ideas.

Elf on the Shelf Ideas for Birthday

If it’s a special day, take a look at these cute Elf on the Shelf birthday ideas. These can happen any time during the year.

This is such an easy Elf on the Shelf Idea. Not many supplies are needed to create a perfect birthday balloon bouquet.

  • The Elf on the Shelf
  • Mini balloons
  • Paper straws
  • Craft supplies: glue or double sided tape.

Using a permanent marker, we added the special message “dream high, soar high.” You could also say “happy birthday!”

We held the straws together with a clear orthodontist rubber band. You could also use a cute ribbon.

Elf on the Shelf In a Balloon

Of course, if you like the balloon idea, how about putting Elf on the Shelf in a balloon. It’s easy to insert Elf on the Shelf in an balloon. Just follow our special instructions and when you’re done with the little guy, write a special birthday note on the outside with a sharpie marker.

Six amazing Elf on the Shelf letters. Three Elf on the Shelf arrival letters to choose from and three blank Elf on the Shelf letters from one or multiple elves. Frugal Coupon Living has new creative, funny, and original Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily.

Elf on the Shelf Letters templates downloads

Are you ready to welcome back Elf on the Shelf?! The best way to get started with this fun Christmas tradition or to welcome back Elf on the Shelf is with a letter. Since Elf on a Shelf cannot talk, having an elf note allows you to express a message without voice to the kiddos.

When Does Elf Return?

Elf on the Shelf typically returns Thanksgiving or December 1st. However, Elf can return anytime during the holiday season – from, as early as, November 1 to right before Christmas Eve. Each family will have a different arrival date as sometimes the line for exiting North Pole customs can be quite long. If you are looking for a fun way to welcome the Elf, there are so many first night Elf on the Shelf ideas.

Does Elf on the Shelf come with a letter?

The Original Scout Elf on the Shelf doll only comes with a book. When you purchase Scout Elf on the Shelf kit , it does not come with a letter. Letters are great for elves, however, because they give voice to a message and as we know elves cannot talk. With an Elf letter you can tell a child many things. The first time to send an Elf on a Shelf letter is when your elf arrives.

Vintage bird prints and bright life to any home décor style. Enjoy these free downloads and prints including free Audubon Birds of America prints.

You guys, I don’t know what happened but I have become a bird lady. Okay, I do know what happened, I moved into a wooded area with a creek and suddenly I found myself buying bird seed and handing up bird feeders, and then more bird feeders, and then more bird feeders.

As the birds have come, I have begun hanging up bird prints… I guess the view wasn’t enough, I also need bird artwork. I know, my feathers are fluffed and the real me shows, this makes me crazy. Just call me the crazy bird lover.  Owls, parrots, flamingos, penguins and more, birds of a feather will flock together and I am for sure hanging beside all these cute winged friends.

I find something so beautiful about vintage bird prints. Plus the bird home décor style goes incredibly well with my love for Grandmillenial Design.

Free Audubon Prints

If you are a lover of beautiful bird prints, you likely know the name John James Audubon. Audubon was was an American painter and expert on birds. His combined his love of both art and birds turned into a plan to make a complete wildlife illustration of all the bird species of North America.

The best news for bird lovers is everyone has access to free John James Audubon’s Birds of America prints. Each one of Audubon’s paintings is now available as a free high-resolution download aka free printables. You too can own a variety of beautiful bird by Mr. Audubon himself!

Search the vibrant digital library by bird name or begin flipping through the pages to find one that fits your home décor color palette. No purchases necessary.

How to Print Your Vintage Printable

If you want to print Audubon prints, consider sending to a local print shop or an online service. While it’s very easy to get your digital download saved and printed from your computer, these vintage prints will stand out the most when they are printed on quality paper and with quality coloring. You want them to look like fine art prints for collectors, no one will know they are free!

I personally send all my free Audubon prints to Staples. Learn how to print at Staples Copy Center.


How to frame Audubon prints of birds

To frame Audubon’s prints of Birds of America, first get a copy of the poster print. You can digitally download Audubon’s high-resolution images of birds, or you can pick up some resources.

  • Treasury of Audubon Birds: 130 Plates from The Birds of America
  • Wall Art Made Easy: Ready to Frame Vintage Audubon Prints

These books are excellent resources for creating Audubon galleries without having to print the images yourself. They come on high quality gloss paper, as any coffee table book would.

I highly suggest you get copies of the prints and frame them yourself. The best places to find frames for Audubon Prints are…

Where to buy frames for bird art prints

Frames are easy to come by. Plus when you are downloading free bird art, then you can splurge a little bit on the print. To save even more, look for a discount code or exclusive offers at many of these sites.

Lego Birthday Cake Ideas

LEGO Birthday Cake

What could be more classic than the Lego bricks themselves? This brick cake looks just like the blocks and will be a huge hit at your Lego birthday party. Make the frosting any color you’d like, or create a couple of smaller cakes to make bricks in different colors. This cake is made with boxed cake mixes, which saves time preparing for the big day. | In Katrina’s Kitchen

Capture the look of Lego mini-figures in this fun Lego head cake. The fun thing about it is that you can give the head any expression you’d like! It’s easier than it looks to put together; it just requires some patience and time. She recommends using pre-colored fondant to get the bright yellow look. | Ashlee Marie

Really wow your party guests with this incredible Lego block cake that’s covered in colorful bricks and has a fun block design inside the cake as well. This is another cake that uses boxed cake mix to simplify things, which is terrific. Making the blocked colors inside is simple with a checkerboard cake pan set. | Pink When

Finally, if you’re more of a cupcake person, it couldn’t get simpler than these fun and easy Lego cupcakes with a candy melt brick on top or a LEGO minifigure. You can make them any color you’d like and put a bunch of cupcakes together in less than an hour. It’s the perfect idea for last-minute party planners. | Love from the Oven

Lego Party Food Ideas

Make some Lego cheese and crackers for a quick snack. They’re inexpensive to make, and kids will love them. All you need are crackers, cheese, and a small fondant cutter or knife to cut the circles. Easy peasy! | Tonya Staab

Want a healthy snack at your party? Look no further than these Lego frozen yogurt bricks made with fresh strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, and honey. Parents will be thankful to have one less sugary item available! | Surviving a Teacher’s Salary

Turn ordinary marshmallows into fun yellow Lego head marshmallow pops! Grab regular marshmallows, mini marshmallows, yellow candy melts, and lollipop sticks to get started on this simple tutorial for LEGO cake pops. They make great snacks for the party, adorable LEGO cake toppers or favors for after. | Savoring the Good

Serve up some yummy Lego brownies at the dessert table. Use brownie mix or grab a box or two of the Little Debbie brownies to put them together faster. | In the Kids Kitchen

Lego sandwiches are a breeze to make, too. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are popular with kids, but you can do the same thing with deli meat and cheese or even veggie sandwiches if you prefer. Just add the bread circles on top to make them look like bricks. They’d be a great addition to kids’ lunchboxes during the school year, too. | In the Playroom

You can never go wrong with Rice Krispie treats. These Lego Rice Krispie treats are so colorful and fun. Just top your usual recipe with the colorful icing and matching M&Ms to make the bricks. Gel food coloring yields the brightest colors, so make sure you grab gel instead of liquid food coloring. | The Soccer Mom Blog

These Lego cookies look scrumptious, and they’re made from scratch, so you know they’re extra yummy. However, you can probably recreate the idea with pre-made cookie dough and royal icing. | For Modern Kids

Who says you shouldn’t play with your food? These Lego build and play Jello snacks were meant for fun! Make them in all kinds of fruity flavors, and the kids can stick them high while enjoying a jiggly snack. | Passion for Savings

Lego Party Décor

LEGO birthday party décor

For easy party décor, recycle your corn starch canisters to make some cute Lego heads with different faces. Since they’re already the perfect shade of yellow, there’s no painting involved. Just draw on the different facial expressions, and you’re good to go. Better yet, your kids can use these jars to store their Legos even after the party is over. | Organized 31

Build some of your décor out of Legos! It’s such a clever idea. You don’t have to think big… small items like building your own utensil and napkin holder can pack a big visual impact. To keep it permanently secure, add some hot glue and use forever to hold utensils, napkins or even future LEGO supplies and tableware.  | Artsy-Fartsy Mama

Make giant Lego “bricks” with boxes, wrapping paper, and construction paper. You can also create Lego faces by drawing faces on yellow balloons. Both of these ideas are super easy and inexpensive, perhaps check out the Dollar Tree for your decorations! | Desert Chica

Head to the Dollar Store for construction paper supplies. Create a Lego bricks garland using construction paper, tape, a hole punch, and some string. How easy is that DIY LEGO banner? It’s a great way to create colorful party décor without a lot of effort. | A Crafty Spoonful

Lego Party Favors

Our Lego travel case makes an excellent party favor, and they’re not very expensive to put together. Just use discount pencil boxes and Lego tape along with some bricks inside, and you’ve got a fun activity that kids can take on the go and enjoy long after the party is over. | Frugal Coupon Living

Upcycle all your old broken crayons to make some fun Lego man crayons! Talk about inexpensive favors! Aside from purchasing the mold, the little LEGO crayons would be free! Everyone has their own minifigure to go. You can also use the mold to make chocolate Lego figures, too. | Mama Smiles

Use some bricks and colorful yarn to make Lego friendship bracelets for all the party guests. The kids can help make them, but they’ll need an adult to drill the holes in the bricks to run the yarn through. | Kids Activities

LEGO Party Activities

Every party needs some photo props and a backdrop to make pictures a little more fun! Making LEGO head photo props is super easy following this tutorial. | Moms and Crafters

For another LEGO party activity, kids will get a kick out of playing Pin the Head on the Lego Dude. It’s a free printable that you can grab for the party and set up in no time. You can use just paper and tape, but if you want the kids to be able to play this over and over, add Velcro tape to the backs of the Lego heads, and place the body on a large piece of felt. That way, it’ll be easy for kids to stick the head on while they’re blindfolded. | Paper Trail Design

Play a game of Lego ball toss to keep the kids entertained! Just cut two or three holes in the top of a painted box for the kids to toss tennis balls into. It’s easy enough for all ages to play, as you can adjust for age by putting the younger kids closer and the older kids further back. Check out the other party ideas here, too. This blogger threw a Lego party for just $17! | Sweet Frugal Life

Set up this Lego race track before the party, and let the kids build their own cars out of bricks and accessories. Then, put those cars to the speed test on the race track. The kids are sure to play this game over and over. | Tonya Staab

This Lego bean bag toss is another fun game the kids can play. This game board is made from a box, and you can make simple bean bags using felt. You don’t need to be a pro at stitching to sew simple bean bags, but you could even use fabric glue if you prefer. | East Coast Mommy

It just wouldn’t be a Lego party without a building challenge, would it? Grab this printable challenge and build a spinner out of Lego pieces to make it extra fun. Give it a spin, set a timer, and see who can build the challenge item the fastest (or the best). | Artsy-Fartsy Mama
