Elf on a Shelf can be made bendable by using a soft, flexible material to create the elf's body. This can be achieved by using a type of foam or stuffing that is malleable and easy to bend. The elf's head, arms, and legs can then be attached to the body with pins or string, allowing for greater flexibility in posing and movement. This type of construction makes it possible to create the elf in a variety of poses, and makes the elf more versatile and fun to play with.
