Elf on the Shelf is a fun and magical tradition! To make one, you'll need a small elf figurine and some imagination. Find a comfortable spot for the elf in your home, preferably near a fireplace or a tree. Each day, come up with a new idea for where to hide the elf. It's like a game of hide-and-seek! Your elf will move around each day, observing the good behavior of children and reporting back to Santa Claus. Don't forget to make up stories and adventures for your elf to add to the magic.
