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

Elf goes fishing – using the kitchen sink, the play kitchen, or the toilet, use goldfish for elf to have fun. I used some fishing wire, and a skewer for our fishing rod. It was fun to place a fish on the hook!

Tips: Don’t forget to use wire for your Bendable Elf on the Shelf! Also you can find this play kitchen on sale on Amazon and at Walmart.
