Bring your little Elf on the Shelf in from the cold and offer him some yummy cocoa. FYI this would also make a wonderful gift idea for teachers or others. Just wrap him around a mug of cocoa or marshmallows.

Then, I used wrapping paper with peppermint candies to represent the “swirly twirly gumdrops” as a larger runner the length of the table and hanging down off both sides. I know it's the wrong candy but they look quite swirly AND twirly to me. 😜 Get the Look Because you know, everybody loves Angry Birds. Let him gather with his little friends and enjoy a real life game, complete with the actual game. If you have watched the movie Elf, you may have noticed all the wonderful paper garlands. Well, I got busy creating a ton of playful holiday decor. Photo: Mark Yamamoto

Operation Christmas Elf

Let your elf leave a message for the kids every morning. Just hang him up by the mirror and tell them what they need to hear. This is a great way to count down the days till Christmas and it gives your elf something to do. Let your little Elf be a teacher. This is a great idea for teachers or anyone who appreciates teachers, as we all do. Just set him up with his own little chalkboard and let other dolls and stuffed animals be his student. This is a really cute way to decorate and leave messages for the family.

Buddy the Elf can hardly stand his excitement for all things Christmas. In fact one of the elf mottos is to: Buddy the Elf has the perfect Christmas date night all ready for you. Are YOU ready for it? Get the Look That’s it! Your kids will have so much funplaying with themselves as an elf. It’s just like the Elf Yourself app but in real life! Lay your little elf up on the counter and make him some “snow” with kitchen staples. He’ll have a blast creating snow angels and he’ll look so cute doing it! I don't recommend mixing these noodles with your fingers but I do think you should keep the serving size small. This is quite the dose of sugar so make sure kids have access to a large room without any breakables after eating! My kids could only handle a few bites, so serve it up with Elf Christmas decorations and a big glass of milk!

With His Own Elf

He’ll fully resemble Clark Griswold when he’s upside down trying to hang those Christmas lights. What a great idea for a mantel or the staircase. Your little elf is sure to need some TLC after the day he’s had stringing lights! Or over the stair rail in this case. A Tupperware lid and your Elf on the Shelf make the perfect sledding decorating for the staircase. Watch him glide down those stairs like a master sledder! Watch my videos above are a full Step by Step How To. Whether it’s been years since you last made a paper snowflake or just need some new ideas, I’ve got you covered! When it comes to Buddy, he has a special someone that he meets along his journey, and that’s Jovie! What does Buddy the Elf put on his spaghetti? Buddy uses regular spaghetti noodles as a base then adds:

Upon first glance, Buddy the Elf’s decorations seems totally over the top, but if you look closer, they’re really very neutral and minimal in style. This where I added my own touches to my holiday decor. Here is my vintage tree. I wish I had bought its twin at the Alameda Antique Faire. But, alas, I have this one glorious tree. I have looked everywhere for another tree like this, but come up empty-handed. Photo: Mark Yamamoto

Set your little Elf on the Shelf up with some marshmallows for roasting, a tire swing (made from a little car tire) or anything else related to the outdoors. He’s sure to love his new camping décor, and you’re sure to love this creative way to display him. These magic Elf seeds are sure to help you to grow your own little collection of elves. Well, maybe not, but the idea is really cute. And, this is a great way to display both your elf and those candies that you want to put out.
