Elf on the Shelf

Start a New Family Tradition with Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a modern family tradition! Read the story book to your kids and then place Santa’s “scout elf” in a new place in your home each day. The elf will watch your home and report back to Santa nightly, where the elf will let Santa know who’s on the nice list! The rules are simple - the elf hears and sees everything, but won’t talk; and make sure you don’t touch the elf or the elf will lose his (or her) magic! It’s tons of fun for the whole family (especially the kids) and represents an easy way to start a new tradition!

• Place the elf on a windowsill or bookshelf
• Suspend the elf from a chandelier or fan
• Hide the elf in the pantry or among some family pictures
• Put the elf among the gifts under the tree (this has the added bonus of keeping the kids from snooping around the gift pile since they can’t touch the elf!)
