We had a lot of fun last week watching all of our little Elf on the Shelf, Marco’s, escapades! Looking for a few fun and easy Elf on the Shelf activities for the holiday season straight from the North Pole? These Easy Elf on the Shelf ideas will work.
Now that you’ve introduced Elf on the Shelf, it’s time to have fun with your Elf. Each elf has a unique personality often reflected in their Elf on the Shelf names and shenanigans.
Funny Elf on the Shelf Playing UNO
We have a cardholder for each of the kids that they use when we play card games. Marco, our Elf on the Shelf, seems to LOVE a good card game, especially UNO. He leaves one extra cardholder across the way from him to encourage them to play card games with their Elf on the Shelf!
Rainbow Loom Thief Fun Elf on the Shelf Idea
With our kids spending what seems like every waking moment making their Rainbow Loom creations, Marco couldn’t help but steal one and tease the kids with it. They looked for Marco a long time this day but finally found him! Little elves love to get all tied up with rainbow loom bands!
Play Hide and Seek with Elf on the Shelf
Gracie the Elf over at I am Ju Ju Blog loves playing hide and seek! Whether your elf follows Gracie’s lead in a sippy cup or finds another cute place, this activity is as fun for your elf as it is for the kids! Thanks for playing along last week Ju Ju!
Elf on the Shelf Popcorn North Pole Snow Angel
Marco must have been missing the snow or something because boy did, he got a bit crazy with the popcorn! He made a cute snow…or popcorn…angel and quite a mess behind him. The kids thought this was hilarious and loved it, even more, when they found Marco had left them a popcorn heart the next morning after he cleaned up his mess.
Another great way to set up this scene is with glitter or sprinkles!
Repelling Time – Funny Elf on the Shelf Activities
I love how Louie, Becca’s elf over at My Crazy Good Life, adds a little adventure to the house! Louie is pretty much a mischief-maker of an elf and a blast to watch. One of my favorites is when he went repelling…I sure hope Marco gives that a shot sometime soon.
I think we’ll probably try and string him up with invisible thread so he can look like he’s flying!
Camouflage Elf on the Shelf
Now you see him, now you don’t. Sometimes the simplest Elf on the Shelf activities can be the cutest for your Elf on the Shelf. Marco went camo on us and hopped up for some snuggle time with Santa making it REALLY hard to find him. He seemed all recharged the next day after his time with Santa. 🙂
