Elf on the shelf ideas when child starts questioning

[girdlehurdle]

Has anyone got any good ideas to do with elf on the shelf when child starts to question it? Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This isn't entirely a serious suggestion...

I read about a grandma who put a load of chicken bones and weird then why ketchup on the mantlepiece.
