24 days is a long time to be creative, so here are some ideas to help inspire your Elf on the Shelf shenanigans this Christmas!<\/p>\n

1. Ziplining across the room<\/H3>
Tie up some string across a well-traveled room and have your elf go \u201cziplining\u201d across it. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Streamers at Entrance to Kid\u2019s Rooms<\/H3>
Streamers are an Elf\u2019s best friend! One great use for them is to make your kid\u2019s \u201cjailed\u201d in by your Elf. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Got Into the Dog Treats <\/H3>
Have some treats for your dog in the house? Show your Elf getting into them, and not being a big fan. Pro tip: make sure your Elf is out of reach of your pup, otherwise he might meet a sad end. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Flour Angels<\/H3>
Yes it\u2019s messy, but we love us some Elf on the Shelf snow\/flour angels! We know you have flour around the house, just lay some out and create an angel!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Mustaches on Pictures<\/H3>
A super easy and last minute Elf on the Shelf idea is to put removable mustaches on the pictures throughout the house!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Date with Barbie<\/H3>
Keep in PG, but have your Elf go on a date with Barbie, or just have them interact with some other dolls in the house!
<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7. The Scanner<\/H3>
Have a scanner at home? Then fire it up with your Elf on it for a fun scan!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Elf vs. Darth Vader<\/H3>
Star Wars has been BIG with the kiddos – so have Darth Vader use the force against your Elf! <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Drunk on Syrup<\/H3>
What do elves love to drink? Syrup of course! So grab a straw and your syrup and watch your Elf go into a sugar coma!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Helium\/Underwear Balloon<\/H3>
We think this is so much fun! Just get some helium, a pair of new undies and let your Elf set sail!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

11. Harry Potter Elf on the Shelf<\/H3>
Kids of all ages love Harry Potter, so make sure your Elf on the Shelf knows the mischief managed spell! <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

12. Elf vs. Elsa from Frozen<\/H3>
Have a \u201cFrozen\u201d lover in your house? Stick your elf in a ziploc bag to protect it, then place it in a cup of water and freeze him\/her. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

13. Basically Anything Involving Toilet Paper<\/H3>
\u2018Nuff said. From an empty roll to a snowman stack to TP-ing a room…kids are guaranteed to love it!<\/p>\n
