Our Elf On The Shelf Has Been Busy This Year! (New Ideas!)
Who else has been busy moving the family Elf On The Shelf around the house every evening? We’ve been having a ton of fun with our elf, but I’m glad to be more than halfway through the month now! I shared a few of our new Elf On The Shelf ideas a bit earlier. Since our elf has still been hopping around through out the month, I thought I’d take a moment to share a few more of his antics with you!
Frauds!
I saw these adorable elf Pez dispensers and knew I needed to grab some for our Elf On The Shelf to bring the boys. Pizza is obviously a little concerned about their legitimacy as elves though!
Do You Feel Lucky?!
This set up was a HUGE hit with #thebigone. Our Elf On The Shelf brought along a small package of Jelly Belly’s ‘Beanboozled’ jelly beans! Have you guys seen these? I am nowhere near brave enough to try this, but man, they’re a hit with seven year old boys! Grab a green jelly bean- if you’re lucky, it might be juicy pear. Not your lucky day? It’s probably booger flavored!
donut Miss it!
I loved this day, because it was super simple and the boys both loved it. Every Saturday morning, my parents take the boys out for donuts. (My dad is a huge donut fanatic!) Our elf got in on a bit of the donut fun too! This is just a piece of scrapbook paper from the craft store- super simple, inexpensive, and had a big impact on the kids!
Who’s This Joker?!
Another elf impersonator arrived at our house this December. This cute little plastic elf holds a gift of tiny candies, which the boys loved. (Shocking, right?!) #thebigone actually believes that this little guy is #thelittleone’s personal Elf On The Shelf now, but so far, he hasn’t been moving at all. (Ain’t nobody got time for that!!)
Flip out!
#thelittleone has a big Flip-A-Zoo plush toy that he got for Christmas last year. When I found these adorable little Flip-A-Zoo blind bag toys, I knew they were perfect for our Elf On The Shelf to gift to the kiddos. If you’ve followed the blog for any length of time, you know I love puns. Luckily, these toys lent themselves perfectly to a flipping out about Santa pun!
