Elf on the Shelf Quick and Easy Ideas!

Today our mischievous little Elf on the Shelf has encircled one of my daughter's Ferblings with dominos.  She is sitting on the Domino case with the leftover pieces spread around her legs.

Cute and easy to adapt to many game pieces you may have on hand.  Only took a few minutes to set up and as long as you have a steady hand (I knocked over the dominos twice during the set up), quick and easy pose for your Elf on the Shelf.

Please check my blog archives for the month December 2014 and December 2015 for lots of sweet Elf on the Shelf ideas you can adapt for your own little elf.

Happy Holidays!

Elf on the Shelf Cute Ideas!

Today our little Elf on the Shelf is literally on a shelf reading the book "The Secret Life of Reindeer".  Cute pose made more realistic with her pink reading glasses and relaxed pose.

I found this cute tiny Christmas book at our local Dollar Store and thought it was just the right size for our Elf on the Shelf to pose with.  I used a pair of plastic doll glasses from my daughter's toys that are the perfect size for a secure pressure fit.

The book was a bit more tricky to set up.  I ended up using a single hole punch through a few pages at the front and at the end of the book.  I then slipped a tiny white Rainbow Loom rubber band through each hole and secured the elf hands to each side of the book through each band.  It balanced nicely on her lap while she is sitting in this relaxed pose with one leg stretched out on a text book and the other dangling freely.

Adorable pose and a great spot to make finding her a lot more difficult tomorrow.

Elf on the Shelf Fast and Simple Ideas!

Today our little Elf on the Shelf has tricked one of my daughter's stuffed animals and rolled it up in Christmas ribbon.

Another quick and easy idea when you're in a hurry and this one inspired by my last minute present wrapping today.  I had this wired ribbon and thought it would be fun to wrap a toy in it.  Again, simple rubber band around the abdomen of the toy provides a secure place to tuck the hands of the elf and looks like she's in the process of rolling the toy along.

Fast, simple and easy with things you probably have on hand this time of year.

Check back for more ideas, still almost a week to go!

Another cute set up for our Elf on the Shelf.  Here she is posing in her new socks (snowing here tonight so she definitely needs them) with her face smiling through a flower picture frame that normally has my daughter's photo in it.

Super cute and easy to put together with any frame you have on hand.  If you have one that normally has a photo of one of your kids, even better.  As usual, I used Rainbow Loom rubber bands to hold her hands and legs in place.  Easy to blend in with her red and white.

Stay tuned for more ideas, the 24th is coming!

Elf on the Shelf Cute and Easy Ideas!

This cute and easy set up will great my daughter when she gets up tomorrow morning.  Our little Elf on the Shelf will be sporting a new puffy vest (there is snow forecast for tonight so the perfect time to introduce a warm piece of clothing) while swinging from a curtain rod in our family room.

Super easy to set up, I used a toilet paper roll with some left-over birthday wrapping paper on it to add some color.  A simple piece of butcher twine is used to hang this swing and our elf sits easily in place once I secured her hands with a tiny, white Rainbow Loom elastic band.  The candy cane is a treat my daughter left for her tonight and nicely covers the elastic band.

Again, super easy and fast with high impact for your little ones.

Looks like our little Elf on the Shelf outsmarted these two wise owls.  Not sure what card game they are playing but with four aces, our Elf on the Shelf is sure to win!

I found this cute miniature deck of playing cards at our local Dollar Store and thought they would be cute as part of our Elf on the Shelf adventures.  Use them for a game of elf solitaire or deal them up among some furry or feathered friends.  To secure the cards, I used a small piece of clear tape across the back.

Cute little set up to surprise my daughter in the morning and super easy.

Elf on the Shelf Fast and Easy Ideas!

Tonight I was looking for a quick and easy set up for our Elf on the Shelf and came up with this cute idea.

I chose a family photo and quickly sketched a head shot of our Elf on the Shelf sporting a pair of dark glasses to go with the theme of the photo.  Lastly, I placed the two markers by our elf and here she sits just waiting to show off her art work to my daughter in the morning.
