2023 Elf Kit

 Thank you for purchasing an elf kit!  I genuinely hope that this takes a little stress away and adds a little joy to your holiday season!  Please read through the following instructions and let me know if you have any questions!

Slappy to be here arrival

 In the bag: card, slap bracelet



Top Notch

 In the bag: card, top



Shined Shoes

 In the bag: card, aluminum foil



Santa Letter

 In the bag: postcard, crayons





Worst cookies ever

In the bag:  card, dog bones 


 

Pizza

In the bag: card, pizza candy

 

Eggstra fun

This would be a good one for travel!  Stuff the elf in the egg carton and done!


 

Confetti Snow

In the bag:  card, confetti

Place a small amount of confetti on fan blade and position elf with card.  A little goes a long way here.  This would also work with the confetti positioned in front of a stroller fan or box fan if you can’t reach your ceiling fans.  Also, bedroom fans may be easier to get to than family rooms.  



 

Hidden message

In the bag:  invisible ink pen, card, paper

Leave a message with the invisible ink pen.  I love you, clean your room, don’t forget to flush, etc.  My kids are crazy hard sleepers, so I plan to write on their hands/arms, but the paper is there otherwise.  


 

Elf Makes Snowflakes

In the bag: scissors, coffee filter snowflakes

If you’d like the elf to make a mess, just fold one up and make a couple extra snips!  I dried to package these as delicately as possible, but if they are wrinkled a few hours under a book will flatten them out.


 

Elf makes Grocery List

In the bag: card, pen


 

Honk If You Believe

 In the bag: sign and tape

Tape sign to car window and position elf with tape roll.  I just hung him by the handle above the window so he’d be visible from inside and out.  My kids love when the elf makes a mess, so I plan to string a little extra tape around the car.




Elf School

Card in bag with four other cards.  Line up stuffed animals and toys for Elf School!


 

Elf in Fridge

Card in bag with four other cards.



 

Stockings

Card in the bag with four other cards.  Hang socks all over Christmas tree!



 

Good Morning SMARTIE pants



In the bag: card, smarties



 

Yarn Maze

 This one did not photograph well, but I just took the yarn and strung all around the living room wrapping around pillows, chair legs, etc.  This was a favorite for my little one last year! She loved crawling through it!





Elf Pox

In the bag:  card, stickers


 

Santa Photos

In the bag:  Santa photos

Swap photos of Santa for family photos, or place in various locations around house.  Could use extra washi tape from “Honk if you believe” night to stick on fridge, etc. if photo frames aren’t your thing!


 

Elf Snot

 In the bag: card, slime, tissue




Dancing Jingle Bells

In the bag: card, jingle bells, soda

Place soda in glass and have kids pour (or watch you pour) soda in.  The jingle bells will move around! If you want to throw in a little science lesson, here is a link that explains density..

Elf Potty Notes

In the bag: dry erase marker

I plan to do multiple bathrooms. Phrases to use include:

Jingle Bells, your poop smells
Ho Ho Ho, Who needs to go
Let it FLOW, Let it Flow, Let it Flow
All I want for Christmas is POO

Hint:  It is easier to write on the toilet paper while it’s rolled up than to peel it out.
