Why Is Elf on the shelf so popular?
The Elf on the Shelf is a cherished Christmas tradition that originated from a children's picture book. This charming tale features a scout elf sent by Santa to monitor children's behavior in the lead-up to Christmas.
Each night, the elf flies back to the North Pole to report to Santa, and upon returning, settles in a new spot in the house. The fun is in discovering the elf's new hiding place each morning!
It's a playful way to count down to Christmas and build excitement. The Elf on the Shelf tradition has gained popularity because it engages children's imagination, encourages good behavior, and creates wonderful family memories during the holiday season.

Bubble Bath Elf: Place your elf in the sink or bathtub surrounded by a mountain of bubbles. You could add a little rubber duck or a tiny cocktail umbrella for some extra fun.
Toothpaste Message: Have the elf spell out a fun message or draw a picture with toothpaste (or shaving cream) on the bathroom mirror. Your kids will have a blast deciphering the elf's artwork or message!
Shower Curtain Swing: Tie a ribbon to the shower curtain rod and have the elf swing from it, possibly with a bar of soap or a bottle of shampoo in its hand for a touch of mischief.
Towel Origami: Let the elf fold the bathroom towel into fun shapes, like an animal or a flower. It's an elf who loves creativity!
Toilet Paper Roll: Unroll tissue paper and have the elf ride on it like around the bathroom. You could even use some more toys to make it more exciting. The more toilet paper roll the better, not just a few squares will do!
Cotton Ball Snow Fight: Place your elf in the middle of a cotton ball snowball fight with other toys or stuffed animals. It's an adorable and fun way to involve other characters in the elf's adventures.
Marshmallow bath: Pop the elf inside the bathroom sink and fill it with mini marshmallows giving that naughty elf a relaxing bath. You could even make a little face mask to put over the elf's face.
Toilet training: This may take some balancing but if you can sit him on the seat or sink, you can use some sweets or chocolate as his poop. This is a simple but hilarious idea.
Flossing Elf: Use dental floss to create a zipline for your elf, with one end tied to the shower curtain rod and the other end held by the elf. This idea is perfect for little elves who love adventure!
