Elf on the Shelf Ideas Everyone Will Love

Elf on the Shelf has quickly become a popular tradition in many households, but coming up with Elf on the Shelf ideas can be tricky.

Although it's fun for the kids, and watching their excitement is fun for mom and dad, it can also be stressful for us as we remember during our 3 AM trip to the bathroom that we forgot to move Figgy.

Remembering to move your Elf on the Shelf is easier when you have a plan! You guys know I am big on having a plan. So, I'm going to give you some ideas that were a big hit in our house last year.

Our elf's name is Figgy, and he's a pretty funny guy. He enjoys playing tricks, and he definitely likes to have a good time! Figgy also has a softer side and brings lots of secret cuddles. Let me show you some of Figgy's shenanigans...

He brought snow.

Then, he stole some cuddles while we slept.

He brought elves we can touch!

Although some of the ideas took a bit of clean up, they were easy to construct. For the most part, we had everything around the house.

I did buy some snow spray for Figgy's grand entrance and the personalized elves.

When planning what Figgy is going to do next, it's easier for me to remember to move him at night when I have a game plan. So, hopefully these ideas will set you up for a few days. Buy yourself even more time by throwing in some basic moves to spread out the big ones!

Most important: have a good time doing it! Use your own creativity. AND enjoy seeing the little one's faces and reactions the next morning. They are only little once...
