Elf on the Shelf Inspiration

Creative & Clever Ideas for Elf Antics

By Angela Duncan December 7, 2017

If you and your family enjoy Elf on the Shelf, you know what a task it is to keep up with his antics EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my kids light up every morning in search of the lil red suited fellow. But... sometimes​  I run out of creativity and ideas for locations for our elf.

Late at night, you can catch me browsing the internet for pictures and ideas of what to do with him so I thought I would share some of our previous antics that our family elf has gotten himself into. I hope this gives you some inspiration, as I am still in search of mine. 

Enjoy!


1) A mischievous elf always TP's the Christmas tree.



2) Getting into the snacks.




3) Captured by the Ninja Turtles (or other group of toys).




4) Just hanging around on a wall decoration to keep an eye out.



5) Making snowflakes out of Q-tips.




6) Creating his own Minions with bananas and a marker.




7) Propelling down from the ceiling.

 



8) Enjoying a late night snack.




9) Using the Keurig as a bubble bath.




10) Decorating our family pictures with Santa hats.




We've been doing this for 5 years now, so this is just a tiny snippet of our elf's antics. You can check out more ideas on this 32 Creative and Crazy Ideas for Your Christmas Elf article.
