How to Trap Elf on the Shelf in the TV!
You will need a Smart TV for this Elf on the Shelf Idea. Your television will need to have the YouTube App. We searched on the app “Elf on the Shelf Caught in TV.”
The Video on YouTube You are looking for is Elf on the shelf – Boy – Trapped in the TV by Aaron Holm. This is a ten minute loop, so it is probably something you will set up right before the kids come down and then accidentally “turn” the channel before that 10 minute time comes up. I am not sure it will repeat over and over if you do not. I believe it will go to the next YouTube Video which might be an Elf on the Shelf video geared toward parents and not kids – meaning showing tricks and ideas!
Once you turn the channel, I would act shocked and go “oh no, where did the Elf go?” Then just play that you can’t find him and let your kids know that you “hope he returns tomorrow!”
Don’t forget that you can also trap Elf on the Shelf in your phone or trap Elf on the Shelf in your computer!

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
