Elf on the Shelf ideas

[Blackmarch]

What kinds of things have you done with your Elf?

I have made a fishing pole and a swing. I have a small plastic bath tub I fill with marshmellows when Cleatus needs a bath.

My grandson got brave today. Climbed to the top of the hutch in his bedroom (not sure why it didn't fall on him) and got Cleatus down. We all know Elves lose their magic when children touch them. So while he's been at school I typed a letter from Santa and left a bottle of Magic Crystals that Cleatus ate and spilled so he would have some magic back. Cleatus is sitting in the entry with the letter and mostly empty bottle of red sugar sprinkles.

It would be fun to hear what others do with their Elf. :)

one of the those working portable box cannons, just big enough to shove him into, for when the new year rolls around.
