Printable Elf On The Shelf Activities

Hey, you guys! So, guess what? I found some crazy awesome ideas for Elf On The Shelf! If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s basically this elf that comes to life and does all sorts of silly things that your kids will go absolutely bananas over. It’s like a holiday tradition that’s become so popular in recent years, and honestly, I kind of wish my parents had done it with me when I was little. But anyways, I digress. Let’s get into these awesome ideas! First up, we’ve got this picture of an elf holding a sign that says “Merry Christmas” with a smiley face underneath. It’s simple, but cute, and could be placed anywhere around your house. Maybe on the mantle? Or propped up in a bookshelf? You could even put it in the bathroom, because let’s be honest…who doesn’t appreciate a happy face when they’re doing their business? Next, we’ve got an elf using some string and a few red and green Hershey’s kisses to do some sort of acrobatic feat. The sign next to it says “I’m not just hanging around,” which is pretty punny if you ask me. This one would probably require a little bit more work on your end, since you’d need to have some string and chocolate on hand, but I think it’s totally worth it. Plus, you could always eat the kisses afterwards! Moving right along, we’ve got an elf using a marker to draw mustaches on all of the family photos. This one is especially hilarious because it’s not something you’d normally think to do with an elf. But can you imagine coming downstairs and seeing all of your family members with mustaches? I would be rolling on the floor laughing. Okay, next up, we’ve got an elf enjoying a lazy day in the sun with a pair of shades and a tiny bottle of sunscreen. The sign propped up next to him says “I’m just trying to get my elf tan on,” which is so cheesy and perfect. I love this one because it’s so simple, but it really brings out the elf’s playful nature. Now, we’ve got an elf sitting in a pile of marshmallows with a sign that says “I like big marshmallows and I cannot lie.” I mean, come on. That’s just too funny. And not to mention, your kids would probably love to wake up and find a pile of marshmallows in the middle of your living room. It’s a win-win for everyone! Alrighty, up next, we’ve got an elf who’s found himself stuck in a towel dispenser. The sign next to him says “I knew I shouldn’t have eaten all of those Christmas cookies.” I’m not gonna lie, this one looks a little bit tricky to pull off, but it would be so worth it. Can you imagine the looks on your kids’ faces when they see their elf trapped in a towel dispenser? Too funny. Moving on, we’ve got an elf using toothpaste to write a message on the bathroom mirror. The sign next to him says “Clean teeth = happy elf.” This one might require a little bit of clean-up on your end, but it would be so worth it for the look on your kids’ faces when they see the message their elf left for them. Okay, we’re almost there, folks! Next up, we’ve got an elf who’s set up camp in a tissue box, complete with a little sleeping bag and a sign that says “I’m sleeping on the job.” This one probably requires the least amount of effort out of all of them, but it’s still so darn cute. And who doesn’t love a good nap, anyways? Last but not least, we’ve got an elf who’s built himself a little snowman out of toilet paper rolls. The sign next to him says “Do you wanna build a snowman?” I know, I know, it’s cheesy. But you can’t deny that it’s also hilarious. And again, your kids would probably love waking up to find an elf made of toilet paper rolls in your bathroom. So there you have it, folks. Nine hilarious ideas for your Elf On The Shelf. I hope you found some inspiration in here somewhere, and if you try any of these out, be sure to let me know how it goes! Happy elf-ing!
