Elf on the Shelf Behavior Warning

The problem: Sometimes the holiday season is a lot on our kids. It’s easy to get silly and misbehave. When your kids need a behavior warning, Elf needs to stay put!

The solution: Elf on Strike printables. It’s okay to have elf stay put when your kids are acting out. In fact, it will remind them Santa is watching and to get back in line! These instant downloads fit your immediate need. We even have a blank sign for you to “fill in the blank!”

When your North Pole visitor is on strike, Elf on the Shelf doesn’t move for a duration until the behavior has ceased or gotten better. These red elves mean business and can only continue their silly shenanigans when behavior is better!

Elf on the Shelf Supplies Needed

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.
