Wow these are too cute! I loved your creativity in these! 🙂
if your child accidentally touches the elf you can place the elf in a bed (i used a dollhouse bed) and then give them a toy phone and a note asking for help to call Santa
This is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing and I will keep this in mind.
Brilliant idea’s, definitely going to use some of them. I am a grandmother of twelve , the children love that a elf comes to my place and when they are on a sleepover that is the first thing they are looking for in the mornings.I think I have just as much fun as them when it come’s to my elf
