30 Elf on the Shelf Ideas
Do you have an Elf on the Shelf yet? If not, then you are definitely missing out on creating some family memories with your children. With The Elf on the Shelf season approaching fast and as I sit here, I begin to think of the fun memories we have already had with our Elf friend over the past couple of years! Coming up with fresh ideas each year can be hard because you don’t want to repeat the same thing every year. Just thinking about the family traditions we are creating for our children matters the most for us. In an effort to get ahead of the game this year, I sat down the other day to think of new Elf on the Shelf Ideas for our children to enjoy this holiday season. Over the past couple of years, our Elf on the Shelf has been becoming more and more mischievous, but the kids reaction each morning is what makes the days seem so much brighter.

Do you have any Elf on the Shelf ideas that you can share with us?
I know this is probably a dumb question but how do they do the picture on the computer you take and download it and act like he has a camera to take a picture?
1. Our Elf took Barbie and some other friends or a sleigh ride pulled by different sized toy horses
2. Also she tried finding a horse her size to ride. That took some doing. She took selfies of herself trying different horses. Some were too small, others too big and one bucked her off! She finally found the perfect mount and went for a ride around the different rooms
