Quick Funny Elf on the Shelf
I know that Elf Season can be a bit exhausting, so I've rounded up 25 Elf on the Shelf QUICK & EASY Ideas that take UNDER 5 Minutes!
I love our Elf on the Shelf, Jasper! I realized pretty quick into our 1st year of his arrival that lots of the ideas out there for the Elf on the Shelf were just very unrealistic for my families situation. First off, I didn't have 15 minutes every night to figure out where I was going to hide him (or I'd be half asleep in bed and remember). Second, so many of the ideas had the Elf down low or in areas that my kids would have been tempted ALL day to touch him. I didn't need to be worrying about that all day. I need QUICK Elf on the Shelf Ideas! So, I compiled this list of 25 Elf on the Shelf QUICK & EASY ideas that take UNDER 5 Minutes!
Also, don't forget to check out my page of FREE Elf on the Shelf PRINTABLE Activity Cards! All of these ideas are super simple too and help bring a little twist into your Elf Season! You can find them all on my Elf on the Shelf Printables Page!
ELF ON THE SHELF IDEAS
These are all FAST, EASY and REALISTIC for families with little kids! If they aren't perfect – then they can be modified to places up high or out of the way!
Don't get me wrong – I'm super excited for when my kids are older and will have the self control to be able to not be tempted to touch our Elf. But, for now – that just isn't an option.
I hope you get some fun ideas to incorporate into your ELF SEASON!!
