Elf on the Shelf Shoe Idea

In your home, gather the following supplies to put together this fun Shoe Shined Elf on the Shelf idea.

Supplies

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Aluminum Foil
• Shoes
• Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your Elf printables)
• Markers

Instructions

This idea is quick and easy and if your children still understand what “Shoe shine” means then they will love the humor in this Elf idea.

For this funny Elf prank, take your child’s shoe and wrap each in tin foil.

Take your marker and write a message on a piece of paper or cardstock “I shined your shoes for you.”

Of course, don’t do this with their school shoes. Imagine the embarrassment wearing aluminum foil shoes to school – haha! You could do something silly and wrap dads and then dad can act like he wore them all day at work (have him leave the house and return home – he can carry a different set of shoes for the day!)

What is the German Christmas Tradition with Shoes?

If this is a German shoe Elf on the Shelf idea you would like to do, do this idea on December 5th or really any day in December to recognize Christmas traditions around the world. Just remind your kids it’s Saint Nicolas Day!

Let’s have a  bit of fun putting Grinch on a bench. Today we are putting together some fun Elf on the Shelf Grinch ideas and including a free printable bad Santa Grinch. This allows you to use any of your favorite Grinch ideas for the holidays and pair it along side your Elf on a Shelf during Christmas time.

What is Grinch on a Bench?

First, a Grinch is a naughty green monster often seen during the Christmas season. The Grinch is the bah-humbug or Ebenezer Scrooge of Christmas spirit. Inspired by the Grinch fictional character created by Dr. Seuss in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you can now purchase a Grinch on a Bench. This blends two things – Elf on the Shelf and Grinch. This is not part of the Scout Elf on the Shelf brand and (quite honestly) I would imagine this Grinch doll will not last long as it looks very similar to our beloved Santa’s Scout Elves.

Elf on the Shelf Bad Santa Grinch

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch! Have fun creating an easy Elf idea with the Grinch.

Materials

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Elf on the Shelf Grinch Printable (see below)
• Optional: Picture Frame
• Optional Tape

Directions

Putting together this Naughty Elf on the Shelf prank idea with the bad Santa Grinch is very simple. Print our free digital download. Place inside a picture frame or tape it to the wall or another resource.

This printable works best with a fun idea. You can extend this Grinch Elf on the Shelf idea with our bad Santa printable. Take a look at these fun Grinch ideas for Elf on the Shelf and use your bad Santa Grinch printable as a prop for any of the bad ideas below (or should we say good?)

More Elf on the Shelf Grinch Ideas

If naughty and the word Christmas are combined, then you have a green monster. The Grinch is a Christmas icon and the representation of all all things naughty during the Christmas season. We found some of the best Elf on the Shelf ideas with the Grinch.

Do you have older kids? Turn your Elf on a Shelf into a bunch of bones. For this terrible Elf idea, use ketchup and roast chicken bones to make a perfect elf-shaped skeleton. This elf formation of a skeleton would be a bad parent idea for any younger kids as it would send a wrong message. However, it makes a nice joke for older kids who might enjoy a little bit of humor when it comes to Santa’s little helper. (Source)

When all is said and done, make sure you add the Grinch’s name on the naughty list.

It’s time for Grinch on a Bench – Time out for these Grinches! After any of these ideas, make sure you add Grinch to the naughty list in this fun printable. You can add Elf to the nice list for tackling that negative behavior.

Elf on the Shelf Resources

At Frugal Coupon Living, our goal, to create an easy Elf on the Shelf season for you. This is not our first year of having an Elf in the home. With over eight years of Elf ideas, we have created a rather large Elf on the Shelf fan club full of new Elf on the Shelf ideas. These Elf on the Shelf resources are all you need to create the best Elf ideas.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition to celebrate the spirt of Christmas. The holiday 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.
