what to do with the elf on a shelf

The Elf on the Shelf is a fun way to bring holiday magic into your home. Each day, the elf is placed somewhere in the house to observe your child's behavior and report back to Santa. The elf can also move around each night while your child sleeps, creating fun and whimsical situations for the next morning. To start, decide on a name for your elf and establish some basic ground rules, such as the elf can't be touched or moved. Then let the magic begin!
