4 Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas for Christmas 2023
8th Nov 2023
Christmas is a time for new and old traditions to bring family and friends together. We decorate Christmas trees, indulge in advent calendars, and, most recently, celebrate the arrival of Elf on the Shelf®.
The Scout Elf returns on December 1st to watch over your family and check in with Santa to inform who is being naughty or nice. Once you’ve adopted and named your elf, they’ll appear in new areas of your home for 24 days. But beware – don’t touch your elf, or you’ll wake up to mischief and pranks!
At Stockeld Park, we recently opened a new, official Elf on the Shelf merchandise section in our gift shop. Using our products, we’ve dived into the easiest Elf on the Shelf ideas you can use this Christmas.
1. Elf on the Shelf Goes on a Balloon Ride
Are you ready for the Scout Elf’s grand arrival? Let elf magic soar through your home with Scout Elves at Play® Peppermint Ballon Ride. Place your elf in an inflatable balloon paired with a candy cane cable to help it spread Christmas cheer.
Elves love surprises, so place them somewhere unexpected, such as hanging from a hallway light or staircase. If your elf isn’t the best flyer, fake a crash landing in your Christmas tree!
2. Elf on the Shelf Has a Spa Day
Every elf needs some ‘me time’ after a busy day of keeping an eye on your family. Pop your Scout Elf in a mini plastic tub, place cucumber circles onto its eyes and add cotton wool to mimic bubbles.
Head to our new gift shop and pick up the Elf on the Shelf® Pamper Selection Box. We’ll guarantee your kids will be excited for the next bath time!
3. Elf on the Shelf Throws a Party
Elves love going all out, so make a splash with an Elf on the Shelf® party! Decorate your child’s eating area for the perfect North Pole Breakfast™. Use the Elf on the Shelf® party pack with table decorations, miniature elf party items and fun games for the most elf-tastic celebration!
4. Elf on the Shelf Babysits
What’s better than one elf? Two! On the run-up to Christmas, your elf will need to babysit their little sibling. The World’s Smallest Elf on the Shelf® is the cutest addition for any family – only 4 inches tall and fits in the palm of your hand.
Sit these elves together on a sofa, wrapped in small felt blankets and create a miniature book for magical storytelling time. Your kids will be in awe of this adorable family experience!
On your next visit to Stockeld Park, explore our charming Elf on the Shelf® merchandise at our expanded Christmas shop. Let’s bring the North Pole home this Christmas!
