HOW DO YOU CALL YOUR ELF BACK HOME?

To summon or call your Elf back to your home, you can do a number of things like:

• Write them a letter inviting them.
• Have a party.
• Create a festive Elf area in your home.
• Or leave out something they like… like treats!

Once they’ve returned for the Christmas season you can start our month long ideas of Elf on the Shelf.

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF ELF ON THE SHELF?

There are just 3 rules:

• Don’t touch your Elf or they will lose their magic.
• They don’t talk, but listen well and kids tell all their wishes to them.
• Scout Elves have to go back home on Christmas Eve to held Santa prepare for Christmas.

Of course, it’s okay for parents to touch the Elf to set them up, but these are rules for kids and it helps build the magic of Christmas. Though there are rules for parents too that come with the Elf when it comes to “touching” the Elf Scout in front of kids in case the Elf falls.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ELF FALLS?

Sometimes the Elf may be more tired. It’s a long way from North Pole to your house. In case the Elf falls or falls asleep, adults can:

• Use pot holders to pick up the Elf to put them back
• Use tongs to save the Elf
• Or in the case the Elf landed on something the children needed or something that isn’t great for the Elf to stay in all day…parents can also move them using the above methods.

HOW TO BRING THE MAGIC BACK TO OUR ELF SCOUT IF SOMEONE ACCIDENTLY TOUCHES IT?

It happens. Sometimes kids get curious or accidents happen. There are 3 things you have to do to bring back your Elf’s magic.

• Write a letter apologizing to Santa for touching your Elf.
• Sprinkle cinnamon next to your Elf as cinnamon is very good for them. (Skip this or use something else if there is an allergy.)
• Sing a Christmas song with your entire family!

Doing these 3 things will bring the magic back to your Elf Scout! You can add on any other fun or silly things to do to bring your Elf’s magic back. These are just the suggested methods.
