If you’ve got young children, it’s impossible that you haven’t got an Elf On The Shelf living with your family this month! For those out of the loop, the premise is that you have a toy elf who is a ‘scout elf’ that needs to fly back to visit Santa each night to report on whether the children he is watching in your family have been good or bad. Before the children wake up each morning, the elf flies back from the North Pole and hides. The game is to hide your Elf On The Shelf in a new spot each morning in various situations for your children to find. We absolutely love the fun that it provides for young children at this exciting time of year, but poor parents often struggle to come up with 24 different situations that they can position their elf in! Here at Bathshop321, we’re on hand to give you that spark of inspiration with our list of fun Elf On The Shelf ideas. You’re very welcome… and enjoy!
