Elf on the Shelf!

Finished the "prototype" pillow!  I think I can make the real
one now!  Posing with our new "Elf on the Shelf," Brownie!


So I don't have kids.  HOWEVER, I have a love of fun things.  I recently found out about the "Elf on the Shelf" and I am in love!  This is the most fun idea and I love that he (or she....they have a skirt that you can get and *poof!* you have an elflette!  I know a lot of people were interested when I mentioned this on facebook, so here are some mischievous ideas for YOUR EOTS!

  • put green or red food coloring in the milk and wrap his arms around the jug
  • replace family pics with his face picture
  • sit him up by the stove with a mini marshmallow on the end of a toothpick and make him have a bonfire
  • have him draw mustaches on the faces of the people in pictures you have hanging up
  • squeeze toothpaste out into the bathroom sink
  • make a "snow angel" on the counter with flour or sugar
  • make a zipline with cord and a candy cane
  • set him up like he's reading a book to the other toys
  • hang him from a ceiling fan with a coloring picture taped to him.  Then have coloring pages on the floor like the fan blew them around
  • toilet paper a room, the christmas tree, or just a little area
  • have him "go fishing" into a bowl of gold fish crackers
  • have some army men "arrest" him
  • color the toilet water with green food coloring and glitter
  • replace the hanging stockings with undies!  Have him hanging from one of the stocking holders
  • sit him in front of a paper and have him "write a letter" to the kids
  • lay him in a "hammock" that you made out of something 
  • sit him in front of the TV and turn on a Christmas movie
  • make a fort out of legos and have a "snowball fight" with hot chocolate marshmallows
  • while the kids are sleeping, paint the tips of their noses red (like Rudolph!)  Have your EOTS hiding with a sign that says, "GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR!"  You can also hit his nose with a little red paint!
Do you have any fun EOTS ideas?!  I'd love to hear them!
