Any other stay at home moms love elf on the shelf ideas that include an activity for your little ones? This one was so simple to set up and my toddler and preschooler loved it! Draw a simple Christmas tree on blank paper with instructions. Hide a bag of Christmas bows around your house and the next morning the kids will have so much fun running around looking for the bows to decorate the tree.

Our elf on the shelf is swinging into the Christmas spirit! They made swings out of empty ribbon rolls (could also use toilet paper rolls) and ribbon tied to the fan. This was an easy and quick idea for the elf on the shelf!

Anyone notice our elves always stay up high? Just out of reach of toddler hands 😜
