\"Elf<\/a><\/p>\n

With only 3 sleeps left until elves everywhere head back to the North Pole with Santa, you’re probably running low on ideas of what to do next.<\/p>\n

To help, we’ve put together a list of 5 last-minute ‘Elf on the Shelf’ ideas that are quick and easy to put together.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sugar Overload <\/strong>– Grab a bowl, empty in some Christmas sweets, chocolates or marshmallows and bury the elf in it!<\/li>\n
  2. Message in a Bottle<\/strong> – If you have a large, empty bottle, put your elf inside (attached to a string for easy removal) and give him a message to hold!<\/li>\n
  3. Toilet Paper Trail<\/strong> – Wrap your elf in toilet paper and leave a trail for the children to follow.<\/li>\n
  4. Fruit Bowl Faces<\/strong> – Give your elf a non-toxic marker pen and let him draw silly faces on all the fruit.<\/li>\n
  5. Stocking Surprise<\/strong> – Place your elf so he’s just poking out of the Christmas stocking and tell your children he’s ‘measuring for present space’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have fun and feel free to share your own ideas in the comments below.<\/p>\n

    Quick tip:<\/strong> Did someone accidentally touch the elf? A sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon will easily restore the elf’s magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
