Elf on the shelf. Some parents hear those 4 words and shutter at the thought because, let’s be honest it was a super cute idea when you thought of it but moving it every night and trying to come up with a ton of ideas can be exhausting. I know I have spent hours trying to scour Pinterest to find a cool new way for the elf to move only to forget to move it that night and just end up telling my daughter that she was naughty so it didn’t move or fly back to talk to Santa. Lame excuse but she’s believed it so far! This year, we’re doing things different and I am so excited!
Thank to the Confetti Box, we are SET for 25 nights of moving Snowflake and I’m actually really excited about it. Usually, our elf would arrive on Thanksgiving but this year momma is pushing it back and Snowflake is making her arrival on December 1st so that I can use the box props for the 25 nights.
Inside the box, you get everything you need (minus the elf) to have your elf have a little fun and maybe a little mischief. It comes with all the props, printable for the welcome letter and goodbye letter along with a couple little signs that go with the ideas. I’m talking a roll of toilet paper and a bag of M&M’s inside the box people! EVERYTHING is included. There’s also a list that explains what each bag, which is labeled what day it’s for, is supposed to create for the elf. From toy soldiers attacking it to fishing in the sink, it covers all the fun ideas that you have seen people posting all over.

That is a great idea. We don’t do Elf on the Shelf but this is a great way to do it.
Thank you for this post! My oldest is now 2.5 and we are doing elf on the shelf for the first time this year and didn’t know what we were going to do!
Omg these look like so much fun! I don’t have kids this Christmas otherwise I would totally do this!

OMG you are GENIUS about creating a box with every day’s idea in it! I need to do this! It would save me so much time and anxiety about trying to figure out at midnight what the elf is going to do next! Thank you so much for the idea!
This is great read, I have not done it yet but it seems quite interesting, I’ll have to try it out.
I’ve never done Elf of the Shelf but it looks like I need to start!
