What have been your biggest Elf on the Shelf successes?

[blondie74]

This is our first year of EOTS and it's been a big hit with DC. Seeing DC's reactions to all the things that the elf has got up to has been great fun. The biggest hits have been:

• pants on the xmas tree
• writing "poo" on an easel (DC scandalised )

What have been the big hits with your DCs?

Good thread idea, in need of a little more inspiration here. Our most popular have been:

Pants on the tree

Toilet paper all over kitchen

Lots of clips in DDs hair

Battery fairy lights in doll house

Elf and teddies being superheros! Elf hanging from the ceiling with a mask on, and a build a bear ted in a batman suit! Big hit!!

Good thread though! I think I did to many good things already, just a bog standard move from Elfies box to the top of the tree, just doesnt cut it anymore!

I admit to struggling for ideas some evenings too. Although the girls are young so are happy just finding him every morning.

The biggest hits have been
Making an 'Elf Yourself' video of the girls and using DD1's Disney princess digital camera to take photos of himself surrounded by princesses!

Ive been keeping a Blog on our Elf if anyone wants to see what he's been up to :)

Pigley thanks for the link - some good ideas there. We did get a picture of EOTS with the nursery staff which caused DD's face to fall when she saw it -clearly very worried about them grassing her up to the elf

Think the elf may have to come out of the closet wearing some Barbie clothes one night. Snow angels in flour on the kitchen floor has also been suggested. Also debating peering out of the washing machine...

First morning was elf having tea party with all new friends (dc soft toys), very well received. Most talked about was tray sliding on the stairs and photos taken by reindeer scattered nearby. Reindeer still had camera round his neck. Any other animal would do though!
We tried the washing machine two days ago but a gremlin had locked him in. Dc not happy about that. DP and his ridiculous gremlin!
I think pants on the tree tonight!!
