My 6 year old daughter who stumbled across this page asked me to say "I love these ideas and I am going to tell my two elves Coco and Marshmallow these ideas" haha. Big fan of your ideas as well. # 1 Elf On The Self Dad
We’ve been doing elf on the shelf for 2 years and this is our 3rd year doing it-our daughter is 6 and has a half brother. I just wanted to thank you for sharing some new elf ideas (at least new to us). So thank you for the great ideas and saving me a few days of worrying and more fun!
@@stephaniaserrano7030 she didn't say that.. Maybe some people just say things about the elves that aren't very nice that we don't want kiddos to repeat (because the elves would have to let Santa know!!)
Oh wow! Now I need to get some for my girls! How come that only this year I found out about the elf’s on the shelf???? You are very devoted mom! Just so admiring
So fun to watch! Our Elf has done many of these things! One of the naughtiest pranks last season was to put toothpaste and hand lotion between Oreo Cookies. My boy is 13 now, and I feel I'm out of ideas since we've been doing it since he was 3 or 4.
this is my first year doing elf on the shelf. my daughter is 3. i've kinda just been moving him around every night and running out of places to put him because she keeps wanting to touch him so i have to put him in high places. thank you for the great ideas. i shall incorporate next year when she is older and hopefully understands (DONT TOUCH) lol
I’ll save these for the future when my son is old enough but I’m watching now anyway because I just love your videos so much! You have such great ideas and your personality makes each video bright and exciting .
I'll be keeping these ideas for next year as I think my son being 2 is a little too small. He's even been in the same room with all of his Xmas presents and he has no idea 😂 luckily he has a double wardrobe, so half of it is chock a block with presents!! Cannot wait for Xmas bring a bit of joy to this year 💜
Absolutely brilliant, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for inspiration. All are great and the winner for me is also the one with mini doughnuts plus to seed the chocolate chips. 👌😂
I feel the same way!! My son will love these ideas!! And I never would have thought about most of them. I’m so thankful 🤩... all we got to do this year is a bit of planning ;)
Wonderful ideas, Emily, your elves are definitely making priceless memories for your boys...! I can imagine how the elves are enjoying themselves in advance when they think about what the reaction of the boys will be...I loved all of them, but my favorite has to be the rainbow 🌈, it’s like magic✨✨✨! Merry Christmas to You All! 🎄💫🎁❄️☃️
I'm so happy cus I made a a letter for Santa and put it by my elf and asked my elf to bring a elf freind with her every year and she did im so happy i made the note yesterday and got her friend today my first elf I had is named Crystal the new elf is named peppermint im so excited to see what they got into tomorrow merry Christmas everyone and god bless u !
I’m curious about what you do once the boys discover the elf’s? Do you leave it there all day till the next night or do you move them after? I imagine the paper on the stairs would of been a interesting time to get around 😂😂 Great Tips!
Our elves disappear when the kids are at school, my 5yr old has always been told people can't touch the elves or it takes away their magic! Will be tricky sticking to that this year with her 19 month old brother tho! 🤣🙈
@@jadekenyon2127 that’s a good idea for them to disappear, I always left them for the whole 24 hours. And I can tell the kids Santa needed them back at the workshop or they needed to report back to Santa 🎅
These ideas are great! My boys are still to little (3 & 16weeks) for elf on the shelf just yet, but these ideas are going to be great to keep in the arsenal.... Definitely think im going to hold off as long as possible before introduce this idea to them! Another great video Em! ❤️
My wife bought this kit online for Elf on a shelf(ours is Peggy) and it has a theme for everyday of December. Last year our elf TP’d the Xmas tree on Xmas eve. Kids loved it.
I’ve had elves for so so long. first I had an elf named Mistletoe. my family has had her since i was 2 years old, in 2010. sadly, she passed away when i was 10, in 2018. that was 3 years ago. due to her watching spot, sitting on a wall-lamp high up in the kitchen, my mom didn’t notice her and turned on the kitchen lights. later we smelled burning, and we found out her leg was almost completely burnt off, and her butt was burned too. I think we still have her, but that was one of her first hiding spots for december. (mistletoe had a different face from most commen elves. her face was skinnier and she had higher cheeks. she had light skin as well.) that year, a few days after mistletoe passed, a new elf arrived. we named her glisten. we found her in 2019. glisten found some very creative ways to do stuff. from stringing toilet paper all around the tree and the ceiling fan to go ziplining, eating an oreo in the fridge, or sitting in a bag of marshmellows. glisten later sat in a stalking with her passed away friend, mistletoe on her back, who barely had any magic left. (glisten has tan skin, and a the more common face of elves like the ones in the video.) this year, in 2021, I got an elf for myself! her name is peppermint. peppermint will begin watching us tomorrow, on december first, with her new friend glisten! hopefully they’re friends and not arche enemies causing a war in our house. (peppermint is a mix of mistletoe and glisten. she has the color of mistletoe and the face of glisten.) so, I have two elves this year! I’ve had 3 elves in my lifetime. how to revive your elf on the shelf if you accidentally touch it! : (I’ve touched mistletoe twice and glisten once. it luckily worked with mistletoe, but I dont think it works more than twice in one elf.) 1. place your magicless elf on a papertowel. 2. sprinkle cinnamon around the elf. careful! dont get it on them! 3. have you and your family sit with the elf and sing a christmas carol all together. I do jingle bells. 4. write a note to santa or your elf, apologizing. make sure you mean it! and dont do it again! and there you go! your elf will be back the next morning, or in a few mornings.
This is so cool I loved reading about your elves I have an elf called tinsel and she is very naughty on the first of December she arrives outside with a tiny suitcase!
I have 2 elves. I’m getting a new one called echo, my other ones are named Blake and eveea! It’s spelt Likes that because I wanted it to be unique, my new one is a naughty one!! My friend is getting one Too!!
I have a lot of elf’s! I remember a lot of their names and my first elf was a girl and her name was Snowie. My second elf was a boy and his name was actually Peppermint!
Anyone else a teenager and still enjoy having their elf’s visit for December? It brings me such joy😅❤️
Haha me! I got a 5 year old brother too so he’s so excited for them to come back :)
Mine came back yesterday
@@talkingtomisfat720 same! I was so happy 🤣

My wife bought this kit online for Elf on a shelf(ours is Peggy) and it has a theme for everyday of December. Last year our elf TP’d the Xmas tree on Xmas eve. Kids loved it.
my favorite was the one were they were riding a roller coaster in the washer! :)
Incredible ideas!!!
I’ve had elves for so so long.
first I had an elf named Mistletoe. my family has had her since i was 2 years old, in 2010. sadly, she passed away when i was 10, in 2018. that was 3 years ago. due to her watching spot, sitting on a wall-lamp high up in the kitchen, my mom didn’t notice her and turned on the kitchen lights. later we smelled burning, and we found out her leg was almost completely burnt off, and her butt was burned too. I think we still have her, but that was one of her first hiding spots for december.
(mistletoe had a different face from most commen elves. her face was skinnier and she had higher cheeks. she had light skin as well.)
that year, a few days after mistletoe passed, a new elf arrived. we named her glisten. we found her in 2019. glisten found some very creative ways to do stuff. from stringing toilet paper all around the tree and the ceiling fan to go ziplining, eating an oreo in the fridge, or sitting in a bag of marshmellows. glisten later sat in a stalking with her passed away friend, mistletoe on her back, who barely had any magic left.
(glisten has tan skin, and a the more common face of elves like the ones in the video.)
this year, in 2021, I got an elf for myself! her name is peppermint. peppermint will begin watching us tomorrow, on december first, with her new friend glisten! hopefully they’re friends and not arche enemies causing a war in our house.
(peppermint is a mix of mistletoe and glisten. she has the color of mistletoe and the face of glisten.)
so, I have two elves this year! I’ve had 3 elves in my lifetime.
how to revive your elf on the shelf if you accidentally touch it! :
(I’ve touched mistletoe twice and glisten once. it luckily worked with mistletoe, but I dont think it works more than twice in one elf.)
1. place your magicless elf on a papertowel.
2. sprinkle cinnamon around the elf. careful! dont get it on them!
3. have you and your family sit with the elf and sing a christmas carol all together. I do jingle bells.
4. write a note to santa or your elf, apologizing. make sure you mean it! and dont do it again!
and there you go! your elf will be back the next morning, or in a few mornings.
This is so cool I loved reading about your elves I have an elf called tinsel and she is very naughty on the first of December she arrives outside with a tiny suitcase!
I have 2 elves. I’m getting a new one called echo, my other ones are named Blake and eveea! It’s spelt

I have a lot of elf’s! I remember a lot of their names and my first elf was a girl and her name was Snowie. My second elf was a boy and his name was actually Peppermint!
