55+ New Elf on the Shelf Ideas: #26 5 Minute Santa or North Pole Cam

New Elf on the Shelf Idea: I think that its wise to install this on day two right after your Elf on the Shelf arrives! This Dollar Tree cell phone camera lens is EXTREMELY convincing and this is definitely one that you could use year after year!

Here is what it looks like without the printable surround on it. Its awesome that it comes with a clip on it so it is very easy to set up. I also bought the red USB cord and ran it from the clip to the center of the tree. It definitely helped this North Pole cam look even more real! (You’ll find both of these by the cell phone accessories at the Dollar Tree.)
