5 New Target Elf on the Shelf Ideas

05 Nov 2021 ByKate InChristmas

I know, it’s a little early in the season to really start talking Elf on the Shelf. But the truth is, December will be here before we know it. I’m trying hard to be more proactive this year – I even finished all the boys’ Christmas shopping before Halloween! So in the spirit of planning ahead, I’ve been starting to gather goodies and supplies for the return of our elves. I thought that over the next few weeks, I would share those ideas with you. Read on for festive inspiration from my 5 new Target Elf on the Shelf ideas.

5 NEW TARGET ELF ON THE SHELF IDEAS

You guys already know, I’m at Target all the time. It only made sense for me to start this holiday season off with some Target Elf on the Shelf ideas!

1. CANDY CANES

You can’t beat a sweet treat that just screams Christmas!

Supplies:

Mini candy canes. I grabbed these from Bullseye’s Playground.
Glue dots.
Real candy canes.

2. STICKERS TO COLOR

My boys love coloring, so I thought they’d get a kick out of these. I plan to split one pack of stickers between the 2 little boys. (Each sticker pack has 10 pages, 2 each of 5 designs, so they’re perfect for a pair of kids to share). A new box of crayons for each kiddo is a cheap way to make the morning even more exciting!

Supplies:

3. MAGIC REINDEER FOOD

The boys will love mixing this together and then saving it to sprinkle in the yard on Christmas Eve. We make sure to only use animal-safe ingredients, so local wildlife is not harmed.

4. DEAR SANTA

My 1st grader is suddenly a big writer, so I know he’s going to be excited to write a list to Santa this year. The DIY mailbox and adorable stickers make this kit extra fun!

Supplies:

Letters to Santa kit. I found this in the ‘regular’ Christmas section.
- There are other options available from Hearth and Hand and Mondo Llama as well.
- Christmas cards or even plain paper work well also.
Markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.

5. SNOWMAN STAMPS

Each of these ‘Build A Snowman’ stamp kits comes with 6 stamps, 2 ink pads, 6 sheets of paper, and 1 gel pen. I know my boys will have a blast stamping before school one morning in December.
