What to do the Elf tonight?

[Icantremembermyusername]

An knackered. Need an easy fix, please!

Last night we did in the kitchen with biscuit crumbs around. I got to eat the biscuit

Hanging off a drawer using a face mask as a hammock, pants on the Xmas tree, drawing on kids faces, hanging upside down from a lampshade, floating in the sink/bath (boat made of half a plastic milk carton)

This...

Think I might put food colouring in the milk

Mine has raided our son's art box so there is card, Pom poms and felt tips out in the living room. Took 2 mins to throw together.

Playing aboard game with other toys

Breaking into the cereal box

Socks all over the floor

Sorry a board game . Bloody autocorrect!

Send yhrm.to the North Pole to help in Santa's workshop
Until Christmas Eve
Then throw them away

Tonight I’ve done an ‘elf train’. Elf and other toy figures sitting in shoes lined up down the hallway like a train. Last night the elves (we have 3 for 3 kids!) had ‘helped with the washing. Clothes scattered, elf stuck in washing machine etc. Am thinking Elf milk (green) maybe tomorrow!

I’ve written a list of simple ideas in my phone, one for each day. It saves having to think up ideas when you just want to go to bed, it takes 10 minutes, you’ll thank yourself!

Elf is playing hide and seek for a few days
Hide in sock drawer, school bag, the car, cereal cupboard, fridge, grandparents house…..

I'm pretty sure Emily Norris on YouTube has made a video on elf on the shelf ideas, worth a search.

I like her style

Underwear on the tree always make the kids laugh. An easy one is draw on the framed photos with drywipe pen or face in the biscuit tin.

Elf reading a book to other toys or sat watching the tablet.

Toilet roll down the stairs is an easy one too.
(Can you tell I've been doing this for too many years)

I’m putting ours in the passenger seat of the car for the drive to school. They’re also wearing Christmas jumpers because tomorrow is Christmas jumper day but that bit is optional.

DD was playing scrabble earlier and left it out so elf has gone from sleeping in the bed (alone!) In barbies house to playing scrabble and making the words "I love xmas"! Took a few seconds effort, perfect!

Ours has been busy, though its tricky getting Elf from my sons clutches without waking him! Toilet roll snowman is easy!
Tonight he'll be playing drums on the pans!
Tomorrow night pants on the tree! :)
Googly eyes on school/family pictures
Food colouring in milk is a good idea, though he might freak out!

We did pants on the tree. Tonight they are swinging out of a wreath.
Last night head down in mugs (we've three)

Ours has made a swing out of a length of tinsel and is swinging from the living room light.
We've done- riding the rocking horse with en egg cup helmet on.
Climbing the tree
In her bookbag
Floating in the bath in a bowl

I don't do complicated set ups. Keep expectations low.

Could it not fall into the recycling bin, the night before they're emptied???
Get in the way of Mad Max on Sunday?
Get stuck in the queues at Heathrow?

So glad I was a Mum in the olden days!
