Love it or hate it, one thing is for sure, Elf on the Shelf has become a holiday tradition. Children of all ages love waking up each morning to see what trouble the elves have gotten into overnight. But, why stress when you can have someone do the work for you? With these Elf on the Shelf Kits, 2024 will be the best (and easiest) Christmas yet!
What if creative elf scenes are not your strong suit? What if you just laid down at 11:58 p.m. and realized you did not move the elf? If the elf shows up on December 1 (when it’s supposed to…), that’s 24 days of creative situations! Plus, if this isn’t your first year doing Elf on the Shelf, you’ve got to think up scenes you didn’t do last year.
That’s why in our house, we’ve turned to an Elf on the Shelf Kit for the last few years. We’ve narrowed down our favorites below!
