Frequently asked questions
How do you keep Elf on the Shelf manageable?
Plan ahead — the panic comes from improvising at 10pm when you've forgotten to move the elf. Pick 24 ideas in advance (a mix of quick 5-minute positions and a few elaborate ones for weekends), write them on a planner, and set a nightly phone reminder. Keep most ideas simple; children love the elf appearing somewhere new far more than they need elaborate scenes. And remember the get-out: the elf 'flies back to the North Pole' on Christmas Eve.
