It's Elf Time Again!

Our Elf is a little lazy and comes on St. Nicholas Day (tomorrow!), which is the day we originally got him. I am still coming up with this year's ideas for our elf Eugene. However, I do have some of his more exciting past adventures listed below. I'll update this post when I get new ones! (All of the Elf ideas, both boring and exciting, can still be found on the blog under Categories/Elf On The Shelf.)

• Lightsaber fight with Storm Trooper and Darth Vader
• "Doctor Who" Elf vs. a Dalek
• Crepe Paper Barricade
• Minecraft Steve Elf with Diamond Helmet and Sword
• Relaxing on a marshmallow chair. My most insane idea yet, as I stabbed my fingers multiple times with toothpicks. However, when I was done, Eugene did have a nice (yet small) chair and foot rest made of mini marshmallows.
•  Super Hero E!. While he may just be pretending to fly on the curtain rod, he did have a cape.
• Playing hockey
• Parachuting in
• Stuck In A Snow Globe 
• Snowman Door 
• Ice skating
• Making a garland for the tree
• Zip Lining to the tree
• Zombie Attack. Playing Plants VS Zombies.
• Making a S'more in the pantry
• Making paper snowflake decorations
• Sledding on the tree
• Swinging from the ceiling fan
• Poker Night
• Popcorn Snowman Snack Cups
• Elf Packed Lunch (Full of all the things an elf wants to eat.)
• Treasure Hunt. Eugene likes to leave things for the boys when he goes home. One year it was a wrapped present, another year he left them a treasure hunt.
• Minion bananas
• Elf Circus
• Hiding in a bottle.  The link to my post has instructions! It's pretty easy and the boys were amazed. :)
• Making a snowman. I stacked larger sized marshmallows to form the snowman. I used an edible marker to make the face and buttons, although melted chocolate would work well too. You could "glue" the marshmallows together with chocolate or hold together with a toothpick down the center.
• Placing Bows on toys.
• Making a Snowman on the Door 
• Some not as exciting ideas: 
• Drinking hot chocolate (mini marshmallow filled cup from the kids kitchen set)
• Flying on the dinosaur that was hanging in Higgins' room.
• Using my Christmas Scavenger Hunt card.
• Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt
• Eating gingerbread cookies
• Wrapping a present. (This was left on his last day and was a game we bought for the boys.)
• Leaving a note to clean their rooms.
• Sleeping in a curtain
• Elf sized donuts. It's fun to have 2 plates: one that the elf is eating, and plate with note that these are to share. Originally, I made these for the leprechaun, but changed the candy melts to a darker green, red, and white for an Elf sized treat. 
• Sick Note from the Elf
• Writing a Story with the Elf
