So it’s 5 days into December and your Elf on the Shelf has arrived, made flour angels, wrote a funny message on the bathroom mirror, and spelled his name in candy; NOW what?!!!

There is no room for creativity at 1:00 am when you realize you forgot to move the Elf. I’m sure your kids love the Elf so much and are so excited to find him every morning. You want to have this Christmas “magic” for them, but this nightly task on top of everything else you have to do as a Mom can sometimes be the thing that slips through the cracks.

Don’t worry. I got you covered 😉

You can watch your kids enjoy the magic of Elf on the Shelf without driving yourself crazy trying to search Pinterest for Elf ideas at 1:00 am.

25 Days of Elf on the Shelf Ideas

I’ve pulled together a list of 25 Days of Elf on the Shelf ideas. Look over the list, pick any one you feel up to, then check it off the list. There are varying degrees of preparation needed for each (depending on how much time you have that night- you can pick!) but all are pretty simple. 

Several ideas leave room for a Christmas activity you can do with your kids. You can choose to do the activity or just pose the Elf when you aren’t up to it. Make it work for you! (This is a great way to check off those Christmas Bucket List items with your kids!) 

You can go in order or pick and check off as you go.

There are also a few bonus tips too in case you want to think outside the box or you want an original idea. 

Most important of all, have fun with it! Your kids will always remember running down the stairs to search for the elf. And, as always, the “magic” of Christmas is MOM! You make this all happen, Mom! 

ALSO INCLUDED – Christmas coloring pages (use them for an Elf idea or just to keep the kids busy while you wrap!)
