elf on the shelf Ideas for Arrival
Have your elf spell out, “I”m Back!” with red and green M&Ms, marshmallows, christmas Hershey's Kisses or other festive candies.
Your elf can arrive with a bag of Christmas treats like this one with “Elf Kisses”. View our other Christmas Treat Bag Ideas
Your elf can arrive with a simple handwritten letter. Or, try one of our printable elf letters including an elf arrival letter.
This elf arrived in a “hot air balloon” crafted out of holiday balloons and a small basket. This would be so easy to recreate with a dollar store helium balloon, some gift wrap ribbon and a basket you already have at home. Photo Credit: BalloonsbyBoo
This elf arrival is very similar, except you don't need a basket. Photo Credit: NoraandKatie
This elf arrives with a mini christmas tree (you can get them at Michael's, Hobby Lobby or other craft stores) and a holiday card.
If you have a toy car, jeep, truck, airplane or train… have the elf arrive in style. This one is driving Barbie's car.
