The Elf on the Shelf can be a fun holiday tradition, But have you run out of ideas for posing the elf every night? Here are some elf on the shelf ideas from tipsaholic.com #elfontheshelf #elf #christmas Elf on the Shelf Ideas

The Elf on the Shelf can be a fun holiday tradition for your child. But have you run out of ideas for posing the elf every single night? Never fear – Santa shared some of his favorite ideas with the Tipsaholic gang and, since we want to be nice and not naughty, we’re passing them along to you.

9 Creative Poses for the Elf on the Shelf

  1. Sitting in front of the laptop watching a holiday video on YouTube
  2. Making a snow angel in the kitchen with baking flour
  3. Stuck inside the cardboard tube of a roll of toilet paper that has been rolled down the stairs
  4. Fishing in the kitchen sink (craft a “rod” of a pretzel stick and some dental floss and float some goldfish crackers in the sink)
  5. Hanging from the string of a helium balloon
  6. Sneaking a drink of something sweet (hang the elf upside down from his knees on a shelf, with his mouth positioned next to a bottle with a straw sticking out)
  7. In the freezer, wearing a scarf (a bit of cloth works well)
  8. Playing a board game with some of your child’s other dolls or action figures
  9. Taking a “bubble bath” (position the elf in the bathroom sink and cover it with mini marshmallows and place a washcloth “towel” on the edge)

What are your favorite ideas for the Elf on the Shelf?
