As Christmas is just around the corner, I have found some funny and creative Elf On The Shelf ideas and have put together a list of my favourites. I think they are perfect for making the festive season more fun and exciting for you and your family, so if you’re looking for some inspiration, look no further!
If you’re reading this, you have probably already heard of Elf On The Shelf, but if you haven’t or don’t know much about it, it’s basically a Christmas tradition which you can do every year with your children, in the run up to Christmas. The idea behind it, is that an Elf visits from the North Pole and stays in your home over the Christmas period. They will watch over your children and will tell Santa if you’ve been ‘naughty or nice’. Each night when the children are asleep, the Elf hides in a new spot for the children to find the following morning.
So here’s a list of over 30 Elf On The Shelf ideas for you…

These ideas are great! I'm toying with the idea of doing elf on the shelf this year. Rosalie is 2 and I'm not sure if she is too young x

I haven't done elf on the shelf yet, I have always found it a bit creepy. But now my kids are the right age it appeals much more. Love the selfie and frozen Elsa one x
