Elf on the Shelf Headquarters

Everything you need to help that silly elf play tricks all month long

By Brittany Joyner November 27, 2022

Bringing Christmas to life with the help of a silly elf is one of my favorite things to do every December. Our elf comes back on December 1st, does some silly things, encourages acts of kindness, and brings fun activities and treats before leaving Christmas morning. 

Below I've laid out my elf on the shelf plan of attack this year. In our Google Drive folder, I've got these printables and two more that explain what I'm doing each day. Reminder: If you're subscribed, the link to access the Google Drive folder was in your welcome email. If you need access, fill out this form to get the link!

This year, my little sister is getting an elf too, so I've got plans for both elves. Some days they'll do things together, but the kids are on completely different levels (ages 4 and 8) and find different things funny. Their elves' activities are super tailored towards their interests.
