We LOVE Christmas and our Elf on the Shelf, but we thought it was time for some NEW Elf on the Shelf ideas! The old ones floating around Pinterest are great, but surely he’s gotten tired of them.
So we set out to create some new shenanigans for your Elf on the Shelf. Our goal was to keep them fairly quick and easy with a few items that you can grab from your local Dollar Tree. (And maybe you already have some of these things anyway!)
We should also add that we made our Elf on the Shelf “bendy” for these pranks. It is simple to do, basically cut open the seams at the ends of his limbs and insert wire. If you would like to see a more detailed tutorial you can google it! There are no shortage of instructions :)

Elf on the Shelf Idea #53: Message Board

Elf on the Shelf Idea #57: Bubble Wrap Ready to Roll!

Tip: Leave a little silly string left in the cans so that the kids can spray it, too.

Set-up Time: About 10 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #3: Shark Attack!
The Idea: This looks a little more complicated than it was. I laid out the two strings and then taped the popsicle sticks in place to create the bridge. If you have boys at home you probably have a shark, snake or something else “scary” to put in the water. Our shark is a bath tub toy from Amazon, you can see it here–the kids have a lot of fun with it.

Elf on the Shelf Idea #6: Post-It Note Game

We placed those with Elf and the sign and distributed the rest around the kitchen. We put the younger kids’ lower and made the older kids’ higher and harder. It was fun watching them try and figure out how to get them down!

Elf on the Shelf Idea #7: Elf Coffee House
The Idea: Well it should be no surprise that elves need coffee to get their day going, too! This was one of our kids’ favorites! Probably because they’ve never seen the coffee pot WITHOUT real coffee in it in the morning, so they were SURE that elf was in trouble!
They loved getting to taste his coffee and were delighted to see that his coffee grounds were so colorful (and tasted a lot like nerds ;). Just add fruit punch to the pot and nerds to the coffee filter and you’re set! (And I’m often asked if we like our Ninja Coffee Bar (I bought it from Amazon HERE)–YES! Especially if you like stronger coffee or making iced coffee. It would also make a great gift for a coffee lover in your life!)

Elf on the Shelf Idea #8: Snowman Family-ature

Dollar Store prop: Shaving Cream (and fuse beads if you don’t have them at home)
Set-up Time: About 5 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #46: Ninja Apples

Dollar Store prop:Balloons and Googly Eyes
Set-up Time: About 10 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #9: Want to Grow Some Friends?
The Idea: This was another of the kids’ favorites. Basically, anytime Elf was inviting them to do something they couldn’t get enough of it! These little grow capsules are fun. We used shot glasses from the Dollar Store to grow them in but you could use any dish. If you haven’t used them before, they take a few minutes to “grow,” so wait to put them in the water until near show time.
Dollar Store prop: Grow capsules (optional: plastic shot glasses)
Free Printable: Click here for the printable grow friends sign!
Set-up Time: About 10 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #47: Puzzle Hunt

Set-up Time: Less than 10 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #12: Shrinking Machine

The Idea: Can you believe this is less than two rolls of toilet paper!?! When you’re inside it doesn’t take much T.P. to make a big impact. My husband had a ton of fun this one (I think he was having flashbacks to his teen years) and it took very little time to clean up.
Dollar Store prop: Toilet Paper
Set-up Time: About 10 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #15: Bubble Party
The Idea: Oh Elf, what will you think of next!?! I was trying to figure out a setting to make bubbles in the dishwasher, but then decided it would probably be easier to make them in the sink. So I put some hot water and bubble bath in the sink and used the sprayer to make a bunch of bubbles. Then I transported them to the dishwasher for the bubble party. (Afterward I put the breakfast dishes in and ran a normal cycle- they came out fine!).
Oh, and if the kids really want to blow bubbles afterward I usually let them blow them into the bath tub. It doesn’t seem to harm anything!

Set-up Time: About 5 minutes
Elf on the Shelf Idea #37: It’s Rudolph Day!

Set-up Time: About 5 minutes

The Idea: This one got a little out of control, at one point my husband and I were arguing about the structural integrity of the “cabin.” TIP: USE LARGE PRETZEL RODS. I didn’t see the large pretzels at our Dollar Tree but was visiting a different one and found them. Then I used frosting in a gallon sized ziplock bag with the corner cut off to pipe on the “chinking.”
(My husband was disappointed that we didn’t have white frosting so that it looked more authentic. ;) It was fun to eat afterward, though! (Because we need more sweets this time of year ;)
Dollar Store Props:Pretzels, Graham Crackers, Frosting & Peanut Butter Cups
Set-up Time:WAY too long!

Elf on the Shelf Idea #29: Ornament Swap
The Idea: Up, up and away! Elf tried to make it to the North Pole with the balloons last night but got caught up!
