Are you ready for December? There are so many fun things to do in the run-up to Christmas and one of the ever-increasing popular trends I have seen is the Elf On The Shelf. Today we have some great ideas you may want to try. The Elf on the Shelf is a tradition that a lot of people do during the holidays. The idea is that the kids are good! You can't touch the Elf though or else that ruins the magic. Each day your kids wake up, they'll find the elf in a new scenario.
These are all our own photos and we would love you to try out our ideas and Pin them on Pinterest. Which idea do you like the most?

Elf on the Shelf Cutting Scissors
Once an Elf on the Shelf gets ahold of a pair of scissors who knows what he's capable of! Scissors are a no for kids, but also a NO for elves, especially if they don't have permission from the parents.

Making a cookie is fun for a human, but even more fun for an elf. This Elf on the Shelf is having a ton of fun making cookies. Who doesn't love making cookies? We do!

How fun is this Elf playing Googly Eyes! I could just have fun with this all day. You will have fun with this one too!
I think the Elf on the Shelf is a fun and fantastic idea. It can really get kids excited about Christmas and make December super fun. In our home we are taking part in a campaign called #LightTheWorld. Each day in the lead to Christmas we will be doing a special act of kindness, giving service or offering charity to those around us and I think that too can bring the spirit of Christmas into the home and add to the fun and joy of the season.
Christmas to me is a special time and one where we can have fun and teach our children at the same time to show love, compassion and care towards others.
It is a great season for teaching goodwill and good morals and setting an example to our kids of gratitude, thanksgiving and love.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas this year and that the Elf on the Shelf along with other Christmas traditions brings joy and happiness to your family.

Please pin these fun and easy elf on the shelf ideas.
These are such great ideas. And they aren't difficult, which is a plus. Some people have these elaborate set ups and I'm all, "Who has time for that?!"
I have never done elf on the shelf for our girls. I always thought I wouldn't have enough ideas but you have some great ones here!
My daughter hasn't mentioned an elf yet (thank goodness), but when we get one I will definitely look back at this for some ideas! I am definitely not the most creative mom on the block!
These are all simple and great ideas. I love the googly eyes! I think I'm gonna see if I can find some of those eyes lying around.
These are such cute ideas, I love the one with the dinosaur. I'll have to share this post with my friends who have kids.
Awwww how fun! What cute, creative ideas! I would have loved this as a child!
There are so many fun ways to use Elf on the Shelf. This makes me miss when the boys believed in Santa.
I'm personally not a fan of elf of the shelf, and I'm really glad my kids have no interest in it. This is a great post for those looking for simple and quick ideas!
These are all such fun, unique and original ideas for the Elf on the Shelf. My kids are too old for it now but I'll pass these along to friends who are doing the Elf on the Shelf with their kids this year.
Super fun ideas for Elf of the shelf. I've been wanting to buy elf on the shelf for the holidays but I never got the chance to. After seeing this I'll have to head to the stores this weekend to get it.
The 'I won't be a naughty elf' list makes me laugh. That's a new one I haven't seen.
I think these are cool ideas! I really want to know more about Elf on the shelf because we do not have that tradition here. But it looks fun!
Wow!! These are created pieces!! Will surely work on this with my kids. Very cute
Thanks. I hope these ideas come in handy for December.
I love the Elf On The Shelf Cookie Making. It looks so cute and adorable!
It's a fun one!
These are wonderful ideas. I love that you are incorporating discipline and great moral values for this kids during this time of the year. The elf would probably go well with the Santa that we had at home.
