The Rules of Elf on the Shelf: A Guide for Parents
If you're new to the Elf on the Shelf tradition, you're about to enter a world of fun and wonder that your children will love! However, like any good holiday tradition, there are a few key rules to follow to keep the magic alive. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
1. The Elf Arrives with a Mission
Your Elf on the Shelf is sent by Santa himself to keep an eye on things in the lead up to Christmas Morning. The Elf’s job is to report back to Santa each night, letting him know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. To make it fun, you get to move the Elf each night while your kids are asleep, creating a new scene for them to discover in the morning!
2. No Touching the Elf!
One of the most important rules for kids is that they must never touch the Elf. If they do, the Elf could lose its magic and won't be able to return to the North Pole to give Santa their report. If accidents happen, don't worry—sometimes a sprinkle of "cinnamon" (which represents magic dust) can help restore the Elf’s powers.
3. The Elf Moves Each Night
The Elf on the Shelf is always watching, but at night, when the kids are asleep, the Elf flies back to the North Pole to report to Santa. After making the journey, the Elf returns to a different spot in the house—this is where the fun comes in! Parents get to move the Elf and set up a new scene for the kids to find the next morning.
4. The Elf Doesn't Talk
While the Elf watches carefully and reports to Santa, it never talks or responds to questions from the children. This keeps the mystery alive and lets the kids imagine what the Elf might be thinking. The Elf’s silence adds to the magic, and it’s up to the children to interpret its behavior.
5. The Elf Leaves on Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve, the Elf’s mission is complete, and it returns to the North Pole with Santa for the rest of the year. Kids can say goodbye to their Elf before bedtime on December 24th, and they know they’ll see it again next holiday season.
Bonus Tip: Make it Fun for the Whole Family!
For parents, the fun lies in coming up with creative, silly, or mischievous situations for the Elf to get into each night. But it doesn’t have to be stressful! If you’re running low on ideas, Megsy and Kate's Elf Help Kit offers everything you need to keep the holiday magic going with ease.
Enjoy the holiday season and get ready to make Elf on the Shelf a fun and memorable tradition in your home!
