Even celebs are joining in on the fun Elf on the Shelf ideas...
David Beckham and Stacey Solomon were some of the celebs to share their clever ideas...

When December rolls around, the advent calendars come out, the decorations and Christmas trees fill the room, and children everywhere delight as the Scout Elves of Elf on the Shelf return. And each year, we're surprised at how much these Elves can get up to in just one short month.
Magic — with some help from willing adults — not only moves those elves from place to place each night, but also ensures they're doing something funny, cute or clever that will delight the kids when they wake up in the morning.
What is Elf on a Shelf?
Started by mother-daughter duo Carol Aebersold and Chanda Bell, the Elf on the Shelf rules are simple:
- The Scout Elf watches over your family during the day, and then checks in with Santa each night to reveal who is being naughty and who is being nice.
- After these nightly trips, they return to a new spot each day.
- Kids aren't allowed to touch the Elves, or they'll lose their magic, and the Elves get up to plenty of funny pranks and tricks in the night and leave evidence of it the next day.
To get started, you'll first have to adopt your Elf (we love this Elf and book set), and don't forget to give your new Elf a name! That's half the fun. Once they're properly named, then they can start their job reporting to Santa at the North Pole each night.
What should the Elf on the Shelf do on Christmas Eve?
Once you've made it to December 24, it's time to say goodbye. After Santa leaves presents for kids on Christmas Eve, he takes all of his Elves back with him to the North Pole. But make sure everyone knows that your Elf will be back next season!
