New Elf on the Shelf idea: SO where exactly does Santa live? Where is the North Pole in relation to our house?? Well, your Elf on the Shelf wants to let you know!! Just use the free printable and a globe, and you’re all set!!

We used this globe ball from the Dollar Tree (the kids had fun playing with it afterward!) and set it on a candle stick as a “stand.” Once I printed the arrows, North Pole sign and penguin, I used tape to attach the arrow and thumb tacks to attach the sign and penguin. Just be sure to cut out the tabs for the sign and penguin so that you can bend them back and make them “stand up.”

New Elf on the Shelf idea: What a great idea, Elf! He brought a stack of wrapped books, one for each night from now until Christmas. Some are old and some are new. Pick a book each night to read in front of the tree. We love that our Elf on the Shelf is encouraging the kids to read more this Christmas season.

You can either get one basket for all of your children, or one basket per child. It’s up to you and how many toys you’d like to purge before Christmas! You might also be pleasantly surprised with how willing your children are to get rid of their toys :)

New Elf on the Shelf idea: Look at those red noses!! Our kids had SO much fun with this Elf on the Shelf idea! They especially loved that Ernie didn’t need a fake red nose because his nose already looks like Rudolph’s! And of course, they LOVED wearing the blinking red nose from the Dollar Tree around all day :) Be sure to get enough for each child in your house!
