Elf Ideas
Every December, elves pop up in homes across the country — getting into mischief, making children giggle, and adding an extra sparkle to the countdown to Christmas. At The Christmas Tree Firm, we love hearing about the adventures your elves have been on, whether it’s our own Elf in your Tree or one you’ve had for years. Here are some simple, fun, and family-friendly ideas to get you started, plus ways to share your own elf antics with us.
Simple Elf Setups for Busy Evenings
- Elf with the biscuits: Leave your elf holding the biscuit tin with crumbs around their face.
- Toilet roll tumble: Sit your elf at the top of the stairs with a toilet roll stretched down like a slide.
- Colouring fun: Have your elf “draw” a silly picture of the family, pencils scattered around.
- Reading corner: Prop your elf up with a Christmas book, ready for storytime.
Creative Elf Antics to Raise Smiles
- Snow angels in flour: Sprinkle a little flour or icing sugar and place your elf in the middle.
- Zipline adventure: Attach string across a room and let your elf slide down with a candy cane hook.
- Wrapped-up mischief: Use gift wrap to cover the remote control, shoes, or even the fridge door, with your elf grinning nearby.
- Bauble bandit: Place your elf halfway up the Christmas tree, hanging onto a bauble for dear life.
Involve the Children
Letting your children choose a name for your Elf in your Tree makes the tradition even more magical. Some families like to write a welcome note from their elf on the first night, or leave small notes and riddles each morning as part of the fun. Keeping it interactive builds excitement all the way to Christmas Eve.
